ALA Resolutions

January 12, 2022 4:17 PM | Deleted user

Hello fellow NDLA members,
As promised here are this week’s ALA Council updates:
There are several resolutions that have been brought forth for discussion and voting at the ALA Councilor meetings next week. These are two resolutions that the Resolutions Committee have received:

  • 1.      Resolution to Promote Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Efforts in AASL While Addressing Historical Effects of Racism from the American Association of School Librarians (AASL).
  • 2.       Resolution to Support School and Youth Services Librarians Facing Increased Intellectual Freedom Challenges
 There will be further information on resolutions when Council meets and votes during the three Council meetings. Councilors also have the option to attend Council Forms (which I usually try to do) as these are opportunities to learn more about the resolutions and ask questions.
 As I mentioned last week,  ALA’s LibLearnX is virtual and will be held from January 21-24. Registration is still open for the conference. If you have registered, I would like to hear what sessions you plan on attending!
 I haven’t seen a new post yet today, but again- ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom has a blog called  Intellectual Freedom News which is updated weekly on Friday. The purpose of the blog is to raise awareness on news related to intellectual freedom, such as censorship, access, net neutrality, information literacy & disinformation, and other areas. You can also subscribe to the blog.
If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to me. Have a great rest of your Friday!

Sara Westall, ALA Chapter Councilor
