Radical Libraries, Archives, + Museums | 2017 Allied Media Conference
by Shoshanna Wechter 13 Feb '17

13 Feb '17

Hello there fellow librarians and library workers, The 19th annual Allied Media Conference is going to be happening this year in Detroit, in June. For the third year, there is a subject track being put together around librarianship, called Radical Libraries, Archives, + Museums. What follows is the Call for Proposals. If you have any questions, simply write me back off list, or contact any of the coordinators listed at the bottom of the Call for Proposals. We would love to draw on the wealth of knowledge and experiences of Michigan librarians and library workers. ☺ If this looks like something you are interested in, simply follow this link to submit a proposal: https://www.alliedmedia.org/amc2017/rad-libraries-archives-museums-track Libraries, archives, and museums do media-based work that educates, informs, and creates bridges to culture and technology. Radical Libraries, Archives, + Museums will address a broad range of media-based organizing themes: envisioning galleries, libraries, archives, and museums as centers supporting movements for social equity; providing information and cultural heritage to social justice workers; serving as places to explore how to use art, media, and technology for social transformation. In this track, we will specifically consider the role of librarians, archivists, and curators in strengthening the knowledge, culture, and collective memory of communities impacted by social and economic disparity. Coordinators of this track are Celeste Â-Re, Shoshanna Wechter, Bekezela Mguni, Sine Hwang Jensen, Laurel Johnson, Veronica Leigh-Milliner, Karina Hagelin. Radical Libraries, Archives, + Museums Call for Participation We are seeking collaborators to shape our track at AMC2017. Libraries, archives, and museums (LAM) are more than places for collecting and storing books and exhibiting artifacts. LAMs can be living, transformative spaces where artists, educators, technologists, and activists convene to access, document, share, organize, and find solutions to issues that impact their communities. We welcome proposals for sessions that will be accessible to participants of all ages and backgrounds, and interpret the work of galleries, libraries, archives, and museums through the lens of media-based organizing<https://www.alliedmedia.org/media-based-organizing>. In previous years we have covered subjects such as restorative justice practices in teen librarianship, starting seed libraries, zine libraries, and tool libraries, and community archives that center the narratives of people of color. We are especially interested in sessions that: ● Challenge traditional gallery, library, archive, and museum structures, institutions, and organizations; ● Discuss best practices for community-based organizations that provide books, technology or internet access, creative materials, or collaborative opportunities centering people of color, queer and gender nonconforming folks, disabled people, incarcerated people, and undocumented people; ● Consider the role of librarians, archivists, and curators in strengthening the knowledge, culture, and collective memory of communities impacted by social and economic disparity and state-sanctioned violence; ● Address racism, white supremacy, and issues of inclusion in galleries, libraries, archives, or museums. Beyond the themes outlined above, if the idea of Radical Libraries, Archives, + Museums resonates with you, we’d love to hear from you. The deadline to submit proposals is March 13th. For questions about Radical Libraries, Archives, + Museums, or to discuss session ideas with our coordinating team, please contact Celeste Â-Re at gr8scribe(a)gmail.com<mailto:gr8scribe@gmail.com>, Shoshanna Wechter at my.name.is.shoshanna(a)gmail.com<mailto:my.name.is.shoshanna@gmail.com>, or Sine Hwang Jensen, me.sine(a)gmail.com<mailto:me.sine@gmail.com> If this looks like something you are interested in, simply follow this link to submit a proposal: https://www.alliedmedia.org/amc2017/rad-libraries-archives-museums-track Shoshanna Wechter Reference Librarian Ypsilanti District Library 229 W Michigan Ave Ypsilanti MI 48197

Happy Friday, * Reimagined Library Services For and With Teens infographic<http://www.ala.org/yalsa/teens-first> is now available! Be sure to take a look and ask: how do you reimagine your services for and with teens? How will you communicate with stakeholders in your community how libraries can put teens first? * YALSA has launched the new Teen Book Finder Database<http://booklists.yalsa.net/>, which is a one-stop shop for finding selected lists and award winners. Users can search this free resource by award, list name, year, author, genre and more, as well as print customizable lists. This new resource will replace the individual award and list web pages currently on YALSA's site that are not searchable and that are organized only by year. * STEM: Nasa has a "Modern Figures<https://www.nasa.gov/modernfigures>" page with resources, biographies, videos, and more related to the movie "Hidden Figures." Don't forget 2019's CSLP summer reading theme will be space! * Teens are hungry in the summer, too. Be sure to check out www.michigan.gov/sfsp<http://www.michigan.gov/sfsp> for details on how to offer cold or hot lunches at your library for students under 18. You can also sign-up to be a snack provider. You shape how many days/weeks you offer throughout the summer!

Library Camp Unconference at AADL - May 5, 2017
by Sara Wedell 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

Hello Library Friends! Library Camp 2017 : An Unconference will take place Friday May 5, 2017 from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm at the Ann Arbor District Library's Downtown Library . The event is free to attend. Click here to register. Library Camp is an informal unconference gathering to share ideas, technologies, and discussions intended for information professionals and graduate students with an interest in libraries. The goal is to get a bunch of people together, to talk about whatever you'd like to talk about, within the rough purview of libraries and library technology. We'll start with a blank schedule and at our morning gathering, we'll fill the agenda with your ideas. We've got time and space for at least 4 concurrent sessions, so there could easily be 10-12 different things to talk about during the day. Like any unconference, the event is led by whoever shows up! This year we are kicking off the day with a keynote by Cliff Lampe and Lindsay Blackwell on social media behavior and societal impact. - Cliff Lampe is an assistant professor in the School of Information at the University of Michigan and currently researches social interactions that are supported by mediating technology. - Lindsay Blackwell is a PhD student at the University of Michigan School of Information. Her research explores misbehavior in online communities, including trolling and online harassment. Plus, bagels. You should come !
