ItemWhat's So Radical About Librarianship? Social Justice in the Information Professions( 2016-11-12)The first task of a radical librarian is to ask themselves two questions about their work: “Who benefits?” and “Whose perspectives and voices are being represented?” Asking these questions prompts us to confront the ways in which our work is embedded in systems of oppression and to attempt to remedy these inequities. This panel will explore how information work intersects with social justice in various contexts, including cataloging, information literacy instruction, reference, and archival description. Participants will be encouraged to contribute to the discussion and will be provided with resources for further reading and engagement.

ItemPrying the Doors Open: One Little Library and Its Influence on Life in the Peruvian Amazon( 2016-11-12)Since 1999, a small library has remained a steadfast bastion of education and enrichment for families in the Peruvian Amazon.

Functioning as everything from literacy center to tribal oral history headquarters, it has always focused on providing the people with deeper education and experiences than there has ever been access to. I will share about the trials and realities of this unique center from first-hand experience and contributions of past and current directors and patrons.

ItemNā Hawaiʻi ʻImi Loa: Navigating Hawaiian Librarianship( 2016-11-12)Since traditional times, Hawaiian people have been caretakers and practitioners of information, using systems and protocols that are based in a Hawaiian worldview.
