In 2018, the core values of librarianship, including social responsibility,
education, democracy, and intellectual freedom, have faced one challenge
after another. How have academic and research libraries taken action to
confront these challenges?
What are we doing to uphold these core values?
For this year's ACRL/NY Annual Symposium, we are seeking presentations and
panels about projects rooted in direct action.
Sample themes include, but are not limited to:
- Labor, finance, and neoliberalism in the academic library:
confronting institutional obstacles regarding staffing, professional
development, and advocacy
- Challenging the whiteness of libraries: education, hiring,
retention, collections, and instruction
- The crisis of fact: politicization of information resources and
information literacy
- Academic libraries and the public good: community partnerships
and outreach
Abstracts of presentations can be submitted using this form:

Proposals should be 250-500 words in length, submitted by *the extended
deadline May 11, 2018.* Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by
mid May. Selected presenters must confirm presentations by June 1st.
The ACRL/NY 2018 Annual Symposium will be held on December 7, 2018 at the
Vertical Campus at Baruch College, City University of New York.
Questions regarding submitting or about the Symposium in general can be
