SRRT (Social Responsibilities Round Table)

last person joined: 12 hours ago 

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.

    2023 Call for Speakers - Leaning International Session at ALA Annual

    The International Connections Committee of the International Relations Round Table at American Library Association will once again organize "Leaning International: Notes From the Field" at the ALA Annual Conference held in Chicago in June 2023.

    How have libraries adjusted to the new endemic COVID world? This program is for information professionals in all stages of their careers who are interested in working internationally. In this program, American librarians discuss their unique international experiences through prepared topics and audience Q & As.

    We are looking for speakers who have experience in going from the US to other countries as well as international librarians currently working in the US who could share their experiences. Speakers from diverse library types and lived experiences are welcome.
