For this year's ACRL/NY Symposium, we are seeking proposals for *a Poster
Lightning Round* about the intersection of libraries and research
institutions with civics, governance, and democracy. How are civic issues
impacting collections and services? How do libraries foster engagement with
civic issues and the democratic process throughout the community? How do
ideas of “library neutrality” affect how we engage with these issues? We
welcome proposals from all positions of library staff.
Potential perspectives include but are not limited to:
*Diverse voices: *participation of diverse groups in decision making and
programming
*Ethical Leadership: *explorations of *institutional authority* and power
dynamics, formal and informal practices of good governance and resistance
*Public Services, Outreach, and Instruction: *library programming, creative
partnerships in and outside the institution, information literacy
*Acquisitions/Collection Development: *new and interesting collections
meant to encourage civic discussion and activism, purchasing issues,
resources sharing
*Technical Services and Access: * authority control and the algorithmic
impact of information retrieval, scholarly communications, artificial
intelligence
Format: The ACRL/NY 2020 Symposium will be held completely virtually. We
are seeking 5-7 minute poster presentations. We are open to a mixture of
presentation types and formats.
Selections will be done by a blind review; please do not include any
identifying information in your abstract. Proposals must be submitted
by October
31, 2020. Presenters will be notified by Monday, November 9th.
Poster proposals can be submitted using this form:
