Academic Librarians' Opinions On Social Justice Advocacy, Judith L. Brink Drescher

Librarian Presentations

This session presented the results of 113 academic librarians surveyed regarding their views on social justice advocacy. As part of a mixed-methods exploration, quantitative, qualitative, and integrated elements were revealed. Beyond a comprehensive survey administered, librarian advocates describe how they approach issues of social justice, what the benefits are of addressing inequities within academic libraries, what barriers they've encountered in their advocacy efforts and initiatives, and what advice a more experienced advocate might offer to a peer with less knowledge who is interested in becoming more involved.

Primo/Summon Panel: Three Years After, Christian Haenger, Allen Jones, Judith L. Brink Drescher, Alexander (Sacha) Jerabek, Knut Anton Bøckman, Ken Herold, Stacey Van Groll

We will end with a summary of our expectations for the future of both products.
