To (too?) Public: library Marketing and Public Relations in Public Libraries Today. Presentation by Audrey Sutton, Manager Information and Culture, North Ayrshire Council, Scotland
Moving Forward: Reflecting on the Past to Better Understand Ways to Create Me...West Muse
Museums have an opportunity to acknowledge and address practices and issues that, in the past and present, have led to mistrust and hesitancy for indigenous groups to work with institutions. But, how do we get there? How does a museum build and repair relationships with indigenous communities to create meaningful and impactful partnerships, exhibitions and programs? In this session, three speakers present their thesis research on cultural competency, community engagement, and repatriation as well as offer suggestions for ways to build and repair relationships.
In 2017 the National Library of Ireland took active steps to become a more diverse and inclusive cultural institution. A Gender Policy and Diversity Strategy Focus Group made up of Library staff, met to discuss how to improve diversity and inclusion in the Library; covering topics such as programming, collections, acquisitions, exhibitions, digitisation and the building itself. From this group, a Diversity and Inclusion Committee was established and with the help of an external facilitator, a Diversity and Inclusion Policy was drafted, approved and published. The policy was launched by the Minister of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht with various invited guests, representing diverse groups in Irish society in attendance.
In partnership with the Creative Ireland Programme, in early February 2019, the NLI will hold a consultative workshop on the policy in the style of a World Cafe; the event will bring together representatives from various diverse communities in Ireland. The forum will focus on the policy and invite attendees to provide feedback on how the NLI can collaborate more effectively with underrepresented communities. The aim of the World Café is to provide insight on how to better represent diverse communities in Ireland and facilitate more inclusive access to the National Library of Ireland.
This presentation will discuss the outcomes of the workshop and how the NLI will take practical steps to represent diverse communities in Ireland through its collections, events and accessibility.

Dr Konstantina Martzoukou's (Senior Lecturer and PG Programme Leader for Information Management, Robert Gordon University)
This paper presents the research findings of ‘Lost in Information? Syrian new Scots Information Literacy Way-finding practices’ research project, which was funded by the Information Literacy Group (ILG) of the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals. The research was conducted via semi-structured interviews with Local Council Leads for Syrian Integration and focus groups with Syrian refugees in the North of Scotland.The research explored Syrian refugees’ ‘ways of knowing’ for addressing critical social inclusion needs (e.g. housing, welfare, education, benefits, employability, rights and entitlements), the barriers (e.g. English language, socio-cultural differences) and enablers (local community support, new technologies and media) they encounter and the characteristics of current information services available. The paper makes a set of recommendations on how to best aid Syrian newcomers in their resettlement, adaptation and social inclusion by supporting them with added-value local information services
The talk was given on Wednesday, the 22nd of September 2021 at the Nigerian Library Association (NLA) Virtual Workshop on Contemporary ICT Practices in Library and Information Services

Sustaining our common values: the pressures at play and to comeCILIP
David McMenemy's (Lecturer and Course Director, University of Strathclyde) presentation to the CILIP 2017 Conference in Manchester #CILIPConf17
The presentation provides an overview of some of the key challenges the profession is facing and will continue to face in the modern era that confront our ethical values. With myriad challenges including protecting privacy and freedom of access to information, and the growing use of volunteers and philanthropy in service delivery, the profession will increasingly face calls to clearly address what it stands for in some key policy areas. The presentation will consider the nature of these challenges, and consider some of the potential solutions.
With the rise of the internet, the recent popularity of e-books and the prevalence of smartphones in today's society, are the days of the public library numbered? Absolutely not, according to Ryan Livergood, Director of Libraries for the Town of Arlington and Treasurer of the Massachusetts Library Association. Libraries are busier than ever, and Ryan believes the public library has never been more vital to the community it serves. Ryan will tell the story of how today's 21st century library is different from the library of the 20th century, and the stories of individuals that are using today's libraries to improve their lives. He will also discuss how the story of today's library parallels the story of the rapidly changing world we live in today...how not just libraries, but all organizations, will have to adapt to meet the changing habits and needs of the individuals we serve.
