SRRT (Social Responsibilities Round Table)

 View Only
last person joined: 14 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.

    Greetings all,

    The talk I gave at the Philadelphia ALA Conference on the Highlights of SRRT History (expanded edition) is in the current SRRT Newsletter online and now reprinted in the Journal of Radical Librarianship. See  https://journal.radicallibrarianship.org/index.php/journal/index

    I hope folks will find this helpful.
