    Enabling structures of collaborative endeavors: Suggestions for budding communities
    (2023) Narlock, Mikala; Luong, Hoa
    The Data Curation Network, a consortium of 17 academic and non-profit data repositories, recently transitioned to a sustainable, member-funded organization. As an example of a sustainable collaborative network, we wanted to remove the magic and mystery of collaboration and unpack the emotional, mental, and technical labor that went into establishing this network. We conducted a project retrospective in March 2022 to better understand what components of our collaborative efforts were most impactful to the success and sustainability of our network. We found that our work relies on radical interdependence: in addition to our work as a collective, we grow more comfortable and adept making decisions behind the veil of ignorance, channel our vulnerability, foster psychological safety and engage in earnest, even uncomfortable, conversations about our work, which allows us to foster collaborative solutions. In this poster, we describe the structures of radical interdependence, both tangible and intangible so participants can leave with a better understanding of the enabling factors of collaborative efforts. We will share information about three different types of critical structures that enabled the success of our work: tool-based structures, administrative structures, and trust-based structures. Presented virtually at RDAP 2023.

    Liaison Librarianship in Shiny Packages: An Exploration of Product Ownership in Academic Libraries
    (International Information & Library Review, 2022) Narlock, Mikala; Robison, Mark
    This column investigates the emerging role of the product owner (PO) -- an individual tasked with ensuring that a specific service meets the needs of users -- in academic libraries. It explores the PO role at the intersections of functional specialization, public services, and technical services, as well as from critical perspectives on gendered labor in librarianship. By examining how our library used the PO model to address pressing problems with our library’s institutional repository (IR), we demonstrate the value that the PO approach can bring to improving library products, especially when the PO is appropriately positioned to advocate for user needs. We also interrogate the overlap in responsibilities between the PO and liaison librarian and argue that the role of the product owner is a rebranding of the liaison librarianship model in an effort to make the emotional and relationship labor more masculinized. By emphasizing traditionally masculine work such as technology and innovation, the PO model allows libraries to market these specialized liaison librarian roles in ways that are more prestigious and aligned with corporate culture, while also downplaying traditionally feminized library work, such as service. Note: this is a pre-print. As such, there may be errors in the text and/or citations.
