Cadence Cordell

I'm happy to share that this July, I'll be starting as the Digital Publishing Manager for Washington University Libraries in St. Louis! I'm so excited for this next step forward, and I'm thankful for all the support I've received in grad school at UIUC.

Guys, I know I’ve posted this article a lot in the last two weeks. But I’m so serious.

Squirrel plush. The body is made of fabric with bar graphs on it, and the tail fabric has a QR code on it.

Squirrel plush photographed to better show the body and tail. The body has bar graphs on it, and the tail has QR codes.

Finally finished this project: took my LOEX poster on hybrid workshops and transformed it into this little squirrel plush! The graphs on its torso were to represent in-person/online attendance stats, and the QR codes linked to resources on hybrid workshop design and examples.

I'm interested in digital humanities and digital publishing, open access, and OER. I'm also passionate about digital accessibility and UDL. I'm excited to be here, and (hopefully) will be posting a bit more frequently moving forward.

Hi Bluesky! I've been here a while, but I'm a perennial lurker on social media and never introduced myself. My name is Cadence Cordell, and I'm a graduate student working towards my MLIS degree and graduating this Spring 2025.
