The mission of the Library Research Round Table (LRRT) is to contribute toward the extension and improvement of library research; to provide public program opportunities for describing and evaluating library research projects and for disseminating their findings; to inform and educate ALA members concerning research techniques and their usefulness in obtaining information with which to reach administrative decisions and solve problems; and expand the theoretical base of the field. LRRT also, serves as a forum for discussion and action on issues related to the literature and information needs for the field of library and information science.

    Updates from the ALA Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Assembly

    On Tuesday, March 14th, the ALA Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Assembly had its third meeting of the year. During this meeting, we heard about the Equitable Immigration Subject Heading Cooperative's "Libraries: Drop the I Word!" campaign, discussed updates from affiliated groups, and had a panel of speakers to discuss ALA's work on the intersection of Intellectual Freedom and Social Justice. 

    We are pleased to share the recording (note: the opener was not recorded) and the agenda for the Assembly. If you are interested in participating in future discussion on the intersection of intellectual freedom and social justice, you can fill out the interest form.
