Go Kristin!
By way of bias disclosure, I’ve had Dr. Kristin Eschenfelder for (um, counting up…) three classes now, and she’s one of the poor souls I’ve tapped to field job-recommendation requests. (I need to figure out what I can give these people. They’re getting hammered, I’m afraid, and they’re all being remarkably gracious about it.)
Even if that weren’t so, this Library Journal nod would still be wondrous cool.
And since it is so, I can go ahead and say that Kristin adds a gutsy, grounded teaching style to her active research agenda. I’ve been quite happy with all the courses I’ve taken from her, I actively recommend her courses to other students, and I’m only sorry I won’t be around longer to take more.
I’m thrilled to see her getting this kind of recognition, and I hope it keeps up. I don’t know whenabouts she’s coming up for tenure, but in my opinion UW-SLIS would be wildly insane not to freeze onto her for life and be glad of the chance.
