SRRT (Social Responsibilities Round Table)

last person joined: 2 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.

    Description

    Join us for an exploration of Gale's newest primary source archive. Disabilities in Society, Seventeenth to Twentieth Century provides ample historical evidence demonstrating how society has interacted with and regarded individuals considered to have disabilities. Within this collection you will find material demonstrating how people with disabilities have worked for equal rights through activism and advocacy and gain access to first-hand experiences through memoirs, letters and more. Also included in this archive are papers, pamphlets, manuscripts, books, research materials, and more which delve into institutional treatment from a medical humanities perspective. This webinar will showcase the content of this archive and review navigational tools and features of the online interface.
