President's Greeting

Greetings, USAIN colleagues! It is an honor to serve as President of USAIN. As an academic services librarian at Kansas State University, I have long valued the collaboration, expertise, and sense of community that make this organization so special.

Having previously served on the USAIN Executive Council, I look forward to building on our strong foundation and supporting meaningful programming and connections between biennial conferences. Together, we can continue to strengthen our network and advance the important work of agricultural information professionals.

The two main areas that I will be focusing on this year are providing professional development opportunities in non-conference years and building stronger ties between USAIN members. Some of the ways that you can become involved in USAIN are joining a committee, participating in the activities of an interest group, or sharing your experiences or expertise.

Thank you for your engagement and support. I look forward to working with you in the coming year.

Warmest Regards, 

Livia Olsen                                                 
President, USAIN                                                                 2026-2027
