Disrupting Tech While Being Pro-Tech, Elisa J. Rodrigues, Anders G. Lyon Jan 2020

Disrupting Tech While Being Pro-Tech, Elisa J. Rodrigues, Anders G. Lyon

Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship

As more libraries take on social justice concerns, pro-technology library workers have the responsibility of vetting and implementing meaningful tools that both meet patron needs and privacy. The goal of this program is for library workers to think critically how we might take a more measured approach to review and integrate technology into library services. Participants are encouraged to think beyond the glitz and glam of new toys and consider how innovation can work in favor of community goals and library ethics. BIPOC, paraprofessionals, students, recent grads, and those with reservations about technology are highly encouraged to attend.

Scholarly Publishing Education For Academic Authors: Reframing The Library’S Instruction Role - Scholarly Publishing, Information Literacy, And Social Justice, Charlotte Roh

Gleeson Library Faculty and Staff Research and Scholarship

Scholarly publishing has made great strides in fulfilling the vision of open access, with more journals and papers now freely available to read and reference on the Internet. Yet that achievement falls short of a truly global open, trusted, and reuseable scholarly record. What are the next steps in openness and the pain points in providing completely open scholarship? Education about the publishing process is still developing, particularly when the publishing infrastructure includes the same colonial systems and biases in academic research and publishing that persist throughout academia. These biases influence what gets published, who gets tenure, what research gets …

Microaggressions: Small Actions That Are A Big Deal, Molly Higgins, Charlotte Roh

Libraries and information organizations are not immune to these microaggressions. They exist in our library catalogues, archives, research, professional organizations and interpersonal interactions.
