FREE webinars: this Tues 11/19 (data/info privacy) and 12/10 (STEM/digital tools)
by Kristin Fontichiaro 13 Nov '19

13 Nov '19

Hello! Tl;dr – Free webinars coming this Tues 11/19 on data and information privacy and 12/10 on STEM and digital tools – join us! DATA AND INFORMATION PRIVACY IN LIBRARIES FLORIAN SCHAUB TUES., 11/19, 4PM EASTERN Librarians have a long tradition of keeping patrons' library interactions private. Librarians have also been passionate about connecting patrons to digital resources, which sometimes require giving up personal information in exchange for access. What happens when these values come into conflict? We are now realizing what can happen when the bits of our lives convert into digital data that can easily be tracked, shared, and used in unexpected ways. Digital assistants like Amazon Alexa can help those with disabilities more easily customize their world, but who is listening on the other end? Equifax's credit score system fuels our ability to lease a car, buy a home, and even look employable, yet a data breach unveiled over 140 million Americans' financial information that could be spread instantly across the globe. Cambridge Analytica's "fun" personality quizzes on Facebook brought moments of delight but also harvested data used in microtargeting and misinformation campaigns, increasing political divisiveness. How do we balance the advantages of a data-driven world with our desire to remain safe? In this webinar, Florian Schaub will give an overview of the information privacy landscape, and suggest questions and action steps we can consider as individuals and patron advocates. SUPPORTING STEM EDUCATION WITH DIGITAL TOOLS MELISSA P. JOHNSTON TUES., 12/10, 4PM EASTERN Educating students in STEM areas not only prepares them for successful careers and advanced technical studies, but also for life, by teaching how to think critically and analytically through collaborative, hands-on, problem-solving, and project-based approaches. Technology and media play an important role in effective STEM education. Students engage in STEM learning in many ways and through an array of different digital tools that provide authentic experiences. Digital tools may include, but are not limited to, digital videos, audio, graphics, games, online assessments, scientific datasets, virtual manipulatives and simulations, and other forms of media. Students learn concepts through these interactive digital resources, all of which enrich student learning by enabling them to comprehend, visualize, and explain difficult concepts. This webinar will focus on how librarians can provide learning experiences in the STEM areas through both formal and informal instruction with digital tools. Details, registration, and additional webinars here: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/university-of-michigan-school-of-information-a… A link to the recording will be sent to all registrants within 48 hours of each event and posted at https://webinars.sites.uofmhosting.net/archived-webinars/ -- Kristin Fontichiaro University of Michigan School of Information 4427 North Quad 105 S.

Doing the Work Externally and Internally: Race, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Thursday, December 5, 2019 ◆ 3:00 pm Eastern / 12:00 pm Pacific ◆ 60 minutes Registration: https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/doing-the-work-race-equity-d…<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.webju…> 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 webinar is part of collaboration with Library Journal, highlighting the work of recent LJ Movers & Shakers.

You’ll leave this webinar inspired by big ideas and motivated by practical steps that will refine your practice as a successful library leader. Presented by: Jamie LaRue, writer, speaker, teacher, consultant, and former library director; and Sharon Morris, Ph.D., MLIS, Director, Library Development, Colorado State Library 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.

As always, thank you to all of you for all you do. Jennifer L. Dean MLA Board of Directors and ALA Councilor ALA News - November 12 ALA seeks applicants for national Policy Corps<http://bit.ly/2CzZIcS> The American Library Association (ALA) invites library advocates to apply online to join the ALA Policy Corps before December 11. The Corps initiative aims to strengthen advocacy related to key national library policy areas—ranging from broadband equity and copyright/licensing to federal funding and privacy and cybersecurity. “I hope early and midcareer library staff and advocates from every corner of the country will consider bringing their passion and expertise to this important initiative,” said ALA President Wanda Brown. “We need more and more diverse library voices involved with state and national policymaking to advance library values, programs and services on behalf of the communities we serve.” Read more<http://bit.ly/2CzZIcS> ALA announces Libraries Transforming Communities community engagement initiative for small and rural libraries<http://bit.ly/371svVA> Library workers serving small and rural communities often face unique barriers — like small staffs and limited budgets — that limit their ability to pursue professional development opportunities to develop their community engagement skills. Specially designed for the needs of small and rural libraries, Libraries Transforming Communities: Facilitation Skills for Small and Rural Libraries, a new learning series from the American Library Association (ALA), will help library workers develop facilitation skills to engage with their communities. “Whether hosting a storytime or leading a town hall meeting, library workers today need communication skills to fulfill their broad mission as community educators and leaders,” said ALA President Wanda Brown. “Since launching ALA’s Libraries Transforming Communities initiative in 2014, library employees from small and rural communities have been asking ALA for facilitation training to help them become better conveners, and we’re proud to deliver with this special project.” Read more<http://bit.ly/371svVA> New publications detail public library responses to the opioid crisis<http://bit.ly/32GsZx5> The Public Library Association (PLA) and OCLC have released two new publications that demonstrate how public libraries are responding to the opioid crisis in their communities. In September 2018, the two organizations launched a collaborative project to collect and share knowledge and resources to support public libraries and their community partners in addressing this national health crisis. Over the past twelve months, PLA and OCLC have conducted a research study of eight public libraries across the U.S. that are employing a variety of strategies to address the opioid problem. This report highlights the findings from the eight case study sites, highlights emerging practices of how libraries are responding to the crisis in collaboration with their partners, and identifies both the opportunities and barriers that libraries should consider.

The OER Toolkit is freely available for download at www.ala.org/aasl/toolkits<http://www.ala.org/aasl/toolkits>.

Despite robust public demand to reverse the policy, the publisher is moving ahead with its plan to limit sales to public libraries. Regardless the size of the library – from large library systems in Washington State and rural libraries in Rhode Island to entire statewide consortiums of small libraries such as in Wisconsin – Macmillan will sell only one copy of a new e-book title for the first two months after release. Read more<http://bit.ly/2CcYlAP> ALA delivers #eBooksForAll Petition, with 160,000+ Signatures, to Macmillan Publishers<http://bit.ly/2qmizWb> American Library Association (ALA) leaders, members and supporters delivered a petition with nearly 160,000 signatures to Macmillan Publishers CEO John Sargent, urging him to reverse the new policy that will limit libraries’ access to e-books. Signed by readers, authors, library staff and patrons from all 50 states, the #eBooksForAll petition demands that library access to e-books not be delayed or denied. ALA President Wanda Brown said, "The mission of public libraries across the country is to ensure access to information and content for all, but Macmillan’s e-book restrictions will drastically restrict our ability to serve millions of readers. Libraries, publishers and authors should be allies - not adversaries - in expanding the number of readers and encouraging the exploration of new titles and subjects.” Read more<http://bit.ly/2qmizWb> ALA responds to Macmillan letter<http://bit.ly/33ggF7X> Hours before the American Library Association (ALA), the Public Library Association and allies were to deliver more than 160,000 petition signatures opposing the planned November 1 embargo on library eBook purchases (and two months after the campaign began), Macmillan Publishers CEO John Sargent directly addressed librarians for the first time. Unfortunately, the letter misrepresents ALA’s longstanding and good-faith efforts to equitably balance the rights and privileges of readers, libraries, authors, and publishers.
