ALA 2022 Library Instruction Round Table Call for Proposals

  • 1.  ALA 2022 Library Instruction Round Table Call for Proposals

    Posted Oct 11, 2021 02:50 PM
    Greetings!

    ALA Library Instruction Round Table (LIRT) is seeking panelists for the President's Program at the ALA Annual Conference in Washington, DC (June 23-28, 2022)

    Program Title: Critical Information Literacy applications for academic, public, and school libraries 

    Critical information literacy asks that librarians work with their students to learn about, question, and challenge the oppressive systems behind the creation, production, and dissemination of information. This difficult work is happening across all types of libraries, encompassing (among other topics) questions of neutrality in the resources libraries provide, the algorithms that provide search results, and the voices that are absent or present from our collections. In this session, participants will learn about the efforts of librarians from three different libraries to engage with and promote critical information literacy practices with their users. Proposals received by Friday, November 5th will receive first priority. 

    Submit a Proposal

    Any questions may be directed to Lauren Kehoe (lsk221@nyu.edu).
