ACRL/NY 2024 Symposium: Values in Context: Praxis in the Everyday
When: December 6, 2024, 8:30 AM-3:45 PM
In the midst of the recent national and global upheavals, the ACRL/NY 2024 Symposium will explore the core values of library workers and libraries, and examine how those values manifest in the day-to-day work that supports our library communities. ACRL’s strategic plan and ALA’s Core Values of access, equity, intellectual freedom and privacy, public good, and sustainability can inform this conversation.
In 2000, the first edition of Michael Gorman’s Our Enduring Values: Librarianship in the 21st Century was published. Later, in 2015, Gorman published a subsequent edition titled Our Enduring Values Revisited: Librarianship in an Ever-Changing World. Across the two editions, Gorman identifies stewardship, service, intellectual freedom, rationalism, literacy & learning, equity of access to recorded knowledge & information, privacy, and democracy as foundational to library work.
We have a great lineup of presenters, lightning talks, a panel, and posters lined up for you. We will be posting the details on our website soon. Hope to see you there!
We also want to extend a ‘Thank You!’ to our host Fordham University Libraries.
