Free Webinar: Doing the Work Externally and Internally: Race, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
by Atkin, Evette (MDE) 19 Nov '19

19 Nov '19

Doing the Work Externally and Internally: Race, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Date: December 5 Time: 3:00-4:00PM Eastern Registration: WebJunction<https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/doing-the-work-race-equity-d…> This webinar highlights the work of Richland Library staff as they work, both externally and internally, to improve dialogue and understanding on topics of race, equity, diversity and inclusion. How does a library respond to a community in deep crisis around race and social justice? That's the question that Richland Library in Columbia, S.C., grappled with in 2017. Recognizing that there was no single answer, they launched initiatives on multiple internal and external fronts. Starting with a Social Awareness Taskforce, geared toward community engagement and courageous conversations, they explored topics surrounding social and criminal justice, women's rights and race. By using innovative approaches like Circles of Dialogue and mobile empathy labs, nearly 1,500 people have participated in the library's race, equity and inclusion programming. To further their efforts, they have also focused internally, empowering staff to lead the charge to understand their biases, macroaggressions, and cultural competence through Let's Talk gatherings, Check Your Bubble worksheets, and other effective tools. Hearing how Richland Library moved the needle on honest dialogue, empathy, and equity with their staff and community, you will be inspired to dig in and do the work at your own library. Presented by: Richland Library (SC) staff, including Tamara King, Community Relations Director and 2019 Library Journal Mover & Shaker; Ci Ci Holloway, Human Resources Director; and Dee Robinson, Director of Library Experience, Branches. This project is made possible by grant funds from the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) administered by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan and the Library of Michigan Foundation.

Requesting Reviewers for Upcoming Community Resources on Launching & Sustaining Digital Preservation Networks
by White, Shannon (MDE) 19 Nov '19

19 Nov '19

Hi Everybody, We are pleased to announce that in 2020, Michigan will be launching a brand new statewide digital preservation network and community. This comes on the heels of a year-long IMLS planning grant that has been exploring the development of model resources and best practices for launching and sustaining distributed digital preservation networks. Throughout 2019, the Statewide & Regional Stepping Stones to the National Digital Platform Project (https://www.gvsu.edu/library/stepping-stones-68.htm) in Michigan has worked in lock-step with our State Library, the regional Midwest Collaborative for Library Services, the Michigan Museums Association, the Michigan Archival Association, and the Michigan Academic Library Alliance to explore, pilot, and develop a package of helpful governance resources, policy tools, and a collaboration toolkit. The project staff have additionally traveled throughout the country to gather helpful data and lessons-learned from an array of existing and up-and-coming networks. Our goal has been to provide institutions with a flexible and adaptable roadmap for accomplishing incremental digital preservation on local scales in collaboration with trusted peers. As we enter the final month and weeks of the project we want to invite institutions, organizations, and practitioners who share an interest in exploring the launch of similar networks and communities to review our resources and provide us with comments, suggestions, and questions. Any and all feedback can be helpful in ensuring that these new resources can have an impact both in Michigan and beyond for advancing digital preservation on state/regional levels. Visit https://gvsu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1LdVE6d5vuQQ7iZ and sign-up today to work with us. We'll be in touch throughout the remainder of November/December 2019 to share our draft resources and gather some critical feedback from you. The resources will launch alongside of the new Michigan network in January 2020, and we will aim to host/foster symposia and meetups throughout the year and into 2021 to support additional future launches. All best, Matt Schultz Metadata & Digital Curation Librarian Grand Valley State University Libraries schultzm(a)gvsu.edu<mailto:schultzm@gvsu.edu> 616-331-5072

Call for Papers - Michigan Academy of Science, Arts & Letters, Library and Information Sciences Section
by Karen Liston 18 Nov '19

18 Nov '19

Dear Librarian Colleagues: As Chair of the Library & Information Sciences section, I would like to extend a personal invitation to you to present a paper at the 2020 Michigan Academy of Science, Arts and Letters annual conference. This one-day conference will be held Friday, March 13, 2020 on the campus of Lawrence Technological University, Southfield, Michigan. Over 30 different sections (academic disciplines) will be holding sessions this year as part of our interdisciplinary/multi-disciplinary conference. I encourage you to submit an abstract of one of your papers for the conference. This conference is an excellent place to present research on library and information sciences. Unlike many large national meetings, the Michigan Academy conference offers a low-stress option for faculty and students to present their research and get valuable feedback. The conference also provides many opportunities to develop new research relationships, to catch up on old times, and to stay abreast of research in Michigan and the U.S. Please consider participating! As you are thinking about which conference(s) to attend next year, remember that the Michigan Academy conference is affordable and involves less travel time and expense. For faculty who register by the early deadline, the cost is $85 plus the cost of an individual membership (see the Call for Papers for details on membership dues). Graduate and undergraduate students pay $90 total (unlike faculty, they are not required to pay membership dues). While the conference is held in Michigan, it draws scholars from several states and a few foreign countries, as well as scholars from across the state of Michigan. The abstract submission deadline is December 16, 2019. To submit an abstract, go to the Michigan Academy website: themichiganacademy.org<https://www.alma.edu/offices/michigan-academy/conference-information/> OR xcdsystem.com/masal/<http://x-cdsystem.com/masal/>member.<http://x-cdsystem.com/masal/> I encourage you to share this information with your colleagues, graduate students and advanced undergraduate students. In addition, individuals from research organizations, government agencies, non-profit groups, etc. are eligible to present papers at the conference. The Academy’s website themichiganacademy.org<http://themichiganacademy.org> has a link to the general Call for Papers (which lists all sections planning programs) and links to each section leader’s contact information. Please contact us (Chair, Karen Liston, AQ8554(a)wayne.edu<mailto:AQ8554@wayne.edu> or Co-Chair, Arlene Weismantel, weisman1(a)msu.edu<mailto:weisman1@msu.edu>) if you have any questions, and feel free to pass this communication on to anyone that you think might be interested in the conference. More information and pages to display are attached. Sincerely, Karen Liston Wayne State University AQ8554(a)wayne.edu<mailto:AQ8554@wayne.edu> Arlene Weismantel Michigan State University Weisman1(a)msu.edu<mailto:Weisman1@msu.edu>
