In this session, UH Mānoa LIS students ʻAulani and Kainani Wagner will discuss the projects they are working on in their respective roles as graduate assistants. Though their work is different, they are connected by their shared goal of improving accessibility to ʻike Hawaiʻi in the information sphere through ʻAulani's reparative descriptions of records and Kainani's transcription of nūpepa. Through this presentation, ʻAulani and Kainani highlight the role of universities in creating and funding professional opportunities for students, and emphasize the importance of building and maintaining pilina across fields and communities in the practice of librarianship.
