Item What's So Radical About Librarianship? Social Justice in the Information Professions(2016-11-12) Luke, Koa; MacKenzie, D. Kealiʻi; Stoytcheva, SvetaThe 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.Item What is Digital Pedagogy?

Over the years it has changed hands, fluctuated in size and services, and endured the challenges of survival in the jungle. 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.Item Banned Books Week Virtual Read-Out(2016-11-11) Kershaw, MarikoItem Organizational Models For Open Education Resources in Higher Education Websites(2016-11-11) Richardson, BrianThis session will discuss different strategies for making open access online resources available to students and faculty via an educational institution's website.

Today, Nā Hawaiʻi ʻImi Loa, a newly-formed professional organization, is striving to advance such systems and protocols as well as services and research of Hawaiian knowledge in the Library and Information Science profession.

This presentation will cover why libraries need seed shares, how to start a free station, and how collaborating with sustainable partners plants the proverbial seeds that will provide tools and resources to patrons that can help strengthen food security.
