SRRT (Social Responsibilities Round Table)

 View Only
last person joined: yesterday 

The Social Responsibilities Round Table works to make ALA more democratic and to establish progressive priorities not only for the Association, but also for the entire profession. Concern for human and economic rights was an important element in the founding of SRRT and remains an urgent concern today. SRRT believes that libraries and librarians must recognize and help solve social problems and inequities in order to carry out their mandate to work for the common good and bolster democracy.

    The American Library Association's International Relations Round Table Papers and Projects Committee invites proposals for presentations at the 2022 American Library Association Annual Conference, scheduled to take place in Washington DC from June 23-28, 2022.

     The International Papers and Projects Session provides librarians with an opportunity to exchange information about library services, collections, and projects throughout the world. The program also serves to stimulate the interest of U.S. librarians in international library matters. The 2022 International Papers and Projects theme is Library Policies in a Time of Uncertainty and Controversy.

    The IRRT Papers and Projects Committee welcomes proposals for in-person conference presentations as well as proposals for video interviews for international peers that may be unable to travel due to COVID-19 travel restrictions or complications. Submission guidelines are available on the IRRT Papers and Projects Committee website
