Registration is open for ARLD Day

 

Registration is open for ARLD Day ARLD Day will be held via zoom on April 30 8:30am-3:00pm CDT. We have an excellent line-up of sessions this year that you won’t want to miss! We are also very excited to announce our keynote speaker: No More Pipelines: Indigenous Knowledge and LIS Keynote speaker Nicola Andrews Gleeson Library, University of San Francisco In this presentation, Nicola Andrews will explore ways in which historical trauma surfaces within libraries, and highlight the tricky balancing act Indigenous library workers undertake as practitioners who are accountable to their Indigenous home communities, and their colonized workplaces. Using a range of industry research, observation, and Indigenous research methodologies, Andrews will give an overview of how Indigenous peoples and their knowledges are situated throughout the library and information science (LIS) landscape, and how we need to look beyond recruitment pipelines for sustainable answers to underrepresentation in the profession. Nicola Andrews is a member of the Ngāti Pāoa iwi, currently residing on unceded Ramaytush Ohlone territory. As the Instruction/First-Year Experience Librarian at the University of San Francisco, she helps coordinate efforts pertaining to student success. She holds a Master of Library & Information Science from the University of Washington, and is currently finishing a Master of Indigenous Studies at the University of Otago. ARLD invites all Native American, First Nations, Oceanic, Pasifika, and other Indigenous library workers to enjoy sponsored registration at no cost to them.
