March 21, 2014

Congratulations to Z. Smith Reynolds’ eLearning librarian Kyle Denlinger on being named a Class of 2014 American Library Association Emerging Leader and a 2014 Library Journal Mover & Shaker (People Shaping the Future of Libraries). Kyle is ZSR’s fourth Emerging Leader and second Mover & Shaker.

In his first job out of library school, Denlinger helped build WFU’s information literacy MOOC, “ZSRx: The Cure for the Common Web,” designed to provide easy answers to common questions about online research.

He describes himself as “a teacher first and a technology guy second,” who knows “just enough HTML to be dangerous.”
