SRRT (Social Responsibilities Round Table)

last person joined: 22 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.

    Subject: Applications open for Library Freedom Project Crash Course in Programs & Training

    Applications for the LFP Crash Course on Programs & Training are now open at https://libraryfreedom.org/crashcourse/. This 10-week free course focuses on privacy for library staff training and public programming in a supportive, collaborative cohort environment. The course will cover topics including how and what to teach in privacy trainings, and important areas of focus like anti-doxxing, digital security for reproductive care, health privacy, police surveillance, understanding artificial intelligence, and more. The LFP Crash Courses are open to library workers at all levels and in all roles, though this course is best for library workers who face the public.

    After completion, participants are invited to become part of the LFP community, a group of more than 130 library workers from around the country who work together and support each other on privacy initiatives.
    Some of our recent projects include  - working with teens to make anti-surveillance memes, fighting library vendor surveillance of immigrants, building an anti-doxxing toolkit for at-risk library workers.

    LFP as low representation at southern states so if you're seeing this and you on other state library listservs please share.

    If you've came to one of my trainings/classes/talks and liked the content, you should apply.

    Cheers,
