IFLA ARL Webinar Series: Social justice, diversity and inclusion in academic ...IFLAAcademicandResea
IFLA ARL Webinar Series | Held online on March 29, 2023
Libraries have a foundational mission to contribute to the right to information and education, serve communities on the margins and provide safe spaces for the vulnerable. Their role extends beyond merely advocating for social justice, diversity and inclusion but they are spaces where social justice struggles are fought and are themselves active participants in the social justice arena.
Academic libraries provide access to spaces and information to university students and staff irrespective of religion, dis/ability, race, political beliefs, social standing and class with many extending their services to unaffiliated users from the local communities. That way, they democratize access to information for all persons.
This webinar accentuated the contributions of academic and research libraries as advocates and actors in the social justice arena. Presenters shared their perspectives and actions taken to address issues of social justice, diversity and inclusion in various academic and research libraries. We hope that their actions will be replicated or customized by other libraries so together, libraries create even stronger impact.

The main aim of library is to avail the various reading material and learning resources to the students and work for the amusement and imbibe values in the readers by reading various autobiographies of great leaders.

Library and information science (LIS) is a multi-disciplinary and dynamic field which adapts rapidly to technological and social developments, and keeps pace with emerging ideas and technologies. The willingness of library and information professionals to proactively accept changes and venture into new knowledge territories is helping the LIS discipline to stay relevant and useful in the fast changing society. Other factors that are driving innovation and creativity in LIS, are the popularity of the Web as an alternative source for information acquisition as well as competition from non-library agencies now involved in information provision.
Information and communication Technology (ICT) has been considered as the most instrumental factor for the change in the mode of delivery of library services. General and traditional services of the library have been influenced with the introduction of new innovative practices, because of application of new ICT –based products and services.
