Our society is full of turmoil, confusion, and protests. Libraries and library professionals have been in the front line to offer libraries as a free, safe place where the public can debate, learn, and have conversations in their communities that include race and gender inequality, politics, social injustices, and many other topics. Whether you are pro or con; neutral or passionate, libraries offer refuge, support, and most importantly, information. In this webinar, you will hear examples of how a few libraries have tackled some of the nation’s toughest issues and how you can promote conversation and civil discourse in your community.

Lightning talk: Indigenous Knowledge Centres
John Pateman
If Truth and Reconciliation are to be meaningful then Decolonization has to be more than a metaphor. Thunder Bay Public Library (TBPL) is committed to recentering the Indigenous world view. Our work is led and guided by an Indigenous Advisory Council (IAC) which represents the needs of Thunder Bay’s Indigenous community. Working with our Indigenous staff, the IAC recommended that TBPL establish Indigenous Knowledge Centres (IKC) in all of our libraries. These collections contain materials that authentically reflect Indigenous knowledge, culture and history.
These collections are not classified by the Dewey Decimal Scheme which represents a European linear interpretation of knowledge in which every book can have only one place on the shelves. Instead they are categorized using subject headings such as Land, Water and Women which reflect an Indigenous circular view of the world in which everything is interconnected. The purpose of these IKC’s is to ensure that Indigenous culture and history is reflected in the collection of TBPL. They are places where Indigenous people can learn about their traditional customs and languages. Many Indigenous people were cut off from their past by colonial practices such as Residential Schools which were intended to ‘kill the Indian within the child’. The consequence of these genocidal policies has become evident with the discovery of unmarked graves at Residential Schools across Canada. In addition, the IKCs are a resource that non Indigenous people can use to learn about the history of Canada that they were not taught in school.

Let's Go on a Bear Hunt: Special Collections in the WildElaine Harrington
Case Study presentation given at "Evolving Identities: Collaboration to Enhance Student Success" National Forum for the Enhancement of Teaching & Learning in Higher Education, Dundalk IT, 23 May 2019.
What is the barrier to researching in Special Collections? Is the process akin to going on a bear hunt? Can you go through it? If you learn how to do this then the achievements and opportunities for student success can be immense. Student success can be gauged in terms of internal departmental or university awards, or external awards and funding. Equally student success can be gauged by public engagement outputs, the reach and impact of such outputs and the skills learned. This presentation examines a number of different interactions with Special Collections borne out of conversations 2013-2019.

Communities as Authority: Strengthening Ilokano and Amianan Studies Materials...N. Marie
Presentation at the Nakem Conferences in December 2012, located at San Fernando, La Union, Philippines. The presentation focuses on ways libraries can expand its collection on Ilokano and Amianan materials. [per conference guidelines, presentation was limited to 10 slides]
Presentation slides prepared by Birdie MacLennan to accompany a lightening talk given at Annual Awardee conference of the National Digital Newspaper Program at the Library of Congress on September 12, 2013.
Is it right to walk into a community in a developing country and establish library services based on the
idea of libraries in the developed world? For two young Australian librarians, 18 months spent working in Vanuatu and Samoa as AusAID volunteers provided insight into the world of acquisitions, information poverty, the nature of aid and book donations. This paper attempts to determine whether the traditional Western concept of libraries with our strong culture of recorded/printed information works in a world where oral language and culture is valued more than written, what types of materials should be collected and how they can be acquired.

Diversity in a Flash: A Lightning Showcase of Residency Diversity Initiativessespinosalib
An American Library Association 2015 Annual Conference presentation sponsored by the Ethnic Multicultural Information Exchange Round Table and the Residency Interest Group.
Diversity Residency Programs provide professional opportunities to recent MLS graduates from underrepresented communities in librarianship. Residents have spearheaded innovative approaches to support the diversity mission of the institution and library through internal and external initiatives. Hear from current and previous residents who have developed outreach initiatives and diversity programming highlighting ethnicity and multiculturalism at four academic libraries as they share recommendations for developing, implementing, and sustaining similar projects at other institutions. Outreach and programs include developing relationships with diversity departments and local communities, holding events to celebrate diverse cultures and ethnicities, and looking internally at institutional resources to support diversity.

Documenting Ferguson: Building a community digital repositoryChris Freeland
The August 2014 shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, along with other recent police-involved shootings around the country have inspired demonstrations, conversation, debate and calls for systemic change in our society. Soon after Brown’s shooting, Washington University Libraries and other St. Louis cultural heritage institutions established a repository to document events in or inspired by Ferguson. Appropriately named Documenting Ferguson, this community-sourced open repository now has more than 1,500 files of digital photographs, video recordings and other media contributed from all over the country. These are viewable online at http://digital.wustl.edu/ferguson. Video of this talk available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6whGNsesYA.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
