Librarian Advisory Board
We’re building CiteDash with the people who already know what scholarship needs: research and instruction librarians, writing-center directors, and accessibility specialists.
What the Board does
- Reviews major product changes for scholarly and accessibility implications.
- Advises on integrations with the systems libraries already use (Springshare LibGuides, LibKey, OpenAthens, Shibboleth).
- Helps shape educational resources for student information literacy.
- Provides honest feedback when we get something wrong.
Joining the Board
We’re actively recruiting our founding cohort of seven advisors for 2026: three R1 research librarians, two community-college librarians, one writing-center director, and one accessibility/VPAT specialist. Compensation is a quarterly stipend plus a free lifetime Team-tier subscription. Time commitment is roughly one hour per month plus a brief end-of-quarter review.
If you’d like to be considered — or know someone we should reach out to — email advisors@citedash.ai. Self-nominations welcome.
Founding cohort (in progress)
Profiles will be published here as advisors join. Each advisor will have a short bio, photo, and links to their institutional page and ORCID profile so the relationship is fully transparent. We expect to publish the first three profiles by the end of Q2 2026.
Why a Librarian Board (not a generic Advisory Board)
Most academic SaaS advisory boards are populated with VC-friendly faculty names. We took a different view: the people who teach citation literacy, evaluate AI tools for institutional adoption, and help students recover from academic-integrity incidents are research librarians. They are the ones we should be answering to.
