ACRL Training & Equity in Library Work Discussion Group

 View Only
last person joined: yesterday 

Charge: To create a discussion forum to discuss, research, and envision the many pathways to satisfying and equitable library work. At the outset, the interest is multi-pronged: practices or programs for making the MLS/MLIS experience more accessible and authentic, particularly for underrepresented and marginalized populations; parallel pathways to (or alternative credentialing for) librarian positions; and increasing equity between library worker classifications (in terms of compensation, benefits, professional development funding, institutional and disciplinary power, & etc.).

    Hi all,

    Thank you to those who have responded to the When2Meet! We are planning to schedule our first meeting for Tuesday, May 7th, at 11am Pacific Time. Je will be replying to this post shortly with meeting information.

    We'll plan for this first meeting to continue talking about logistics, group norms and goals, and hope to come up with a topic for discussion at our next meeting. If you feel like doing any kind of pre-meeting prep work, maybe spend some time thinking (and adding to the thread, if you feel so led) about community agreements or norms that you would like our group to be guided by. If you don't have time before the meeting, no worries - we'll devote time to it during the meeting itself, with a goal of coming up with a set of agreements that we can start with.

    We are really looking forward to talking to you all, and will see as many as we can on May 7th! Je will be responding to this post with a meeting invitation.

    Hannah
