Lisa Dinkle is an instruction librarian at Radford University. She was the collection assistant there from 2014 to 2016. She has degrees in history and library information science. Her dual role as a library liaison and instruction librarian gives her more opportunities to connect with her departments. These opportunities have allowed her to collaborate with faculty and students to showcase library resources and services. She is the founding member of an instruction librarians&; book club, which invites librarians to build their instructional skills through reading, discussion, and praxis, with occasional conversational detours into collection development and library liaison practices at other institutions.
