Register today for the 2018 Technical Services Retreat, March 28-29, at the Nationwide Hotel and Conference Center in North Columbus. The 2018 Retreat will kick off with keynote speaker Eboni Johnson, Outreach & Programming Librarian with Oberlin College Library, who will talk about her recent experience wearing different hats as both a librarian and "field archivist" on a research project in the Africatown area of Mobile, Alabama.
Africatown is an area of national significance as the landing site of the last ship known to bring enslaved Africans to the county. Currently its residents are facing (and fighting) climate change and environmental justice challenges that threaten its existence. A team of students and faculty from Oberlin College are researching connections between African-American and Indigenous communities around these important issues. Johnson will discuss her growing role in this effort, which includes designing archival systems that empower the community to document and preserve records and photographs that are crucial to helping Africatown tell its own story.
Other topics at the Retreat include eclectic collections, project management, ILS acquisitions modules, local heritage collections, ethical considerations and much more. Session descriptions are available on the OLC website<http://olc.org/blog/event/technical-services-retreat/>.
