Category: Division Event

The hour-long open forum will center on dual topics: Political Challenges For the New Year: Digital Safety in Higher Education and Librarians & Libraries Preparing for Title II. As always, everyone is welcome, the forum will not be recorded, to allow participants to speak freely, and the session will conclude with an open discussion where members can share plans, projects, and hopes for the new year.

A note on interactivity: The open forum will feature an anonymous, collaborative zoom board for thoughts & feedback - unfortunately this feature isn’t available to iPad/phone users, so to use that feature, please join us from a desktop or laptop. 

Summary notes including feedback & any links to resources will be shared in the Academic Library Division Humanities Commons group. 

Everyone is welcome – hope to see you there!

The Academic Library Division Moderators,
Stephanie Jacobs and Erin Dickey
