2023 ACRL/NY Symposium: Embracing Slow Librarianship
In response to the growing fetishization of productivity in academia's increasingly corporatized climate, writer and librarian Julia Glassman suggests that library communities might benefit from an approach that incorporates principles from "slow" movements (slow food, slow technology, etc.). She describes slow librarianship as addressing the needs and interests of library communities through the "commitment to prioritizing reflection and meaningful practices over chains of impressive-sounding achievements," which, in turn, presents the possibility of opening up "alternative avenues for professional development and recognition."
Produced annually by the Greater New York Metropolitan Chapter of the Association of College and Research Libraries, this year's event will take place on Friday, December 1st at Baruch College's Vertical Campus in Manhattan, and will be livestreamed.
Scholarship recipients are expected to attend the full-day symposium, in person or virtually, and produce a short article on their impressions of the day for the ACRL/NY blog (guidelines to be provided).
Application submission deadline: Friday, October 6, 2023
Scholarship recipients will be notified on or before: Wednesday, November 1, 2023.

We look forward to your submission.
