I'm helping 2 faculty develop an u-grad Library & Archival Studies Concentration in Africana Studies, in part to encourage students to pursue their MLIS. We're creating an intro LIS foundations class & I'm helping to craft a module on the history of the profession.

I have 3 broad categories of content:

1) History of LIBRARIES: establishment of public libraries, efforts to integrate libraries, collections (whose voice gets included/excluded)

2) History of LIBRARY WORKERS: feminized/white; race, racism, segregation; professionalization

3) History of LIBRARY WORK: collection building & description, evolution of subject classification; consortial collections/reference, resource sharing; technology and the transformation of library work; labor/unionization

What are some topics + readings that you think are essential? Share here👇 or DM for access to my draft doc. Thanks!

Re-posting this in the hopes of reaching more folks, with thanks to those who've already connected with me and helped out...

Hi and folks. I'm mentoring some awesome faculty who are creating an undergraduate Library & Archival Studies Concentration in Africana Studies at their institution. The purpose of the concentration is to encourage undergraduates to pursue MLIS degrees.

One of the things we're focusing on is developing an introductory foundations class. I've been brainstorming possible things to cover and would love your input and ideas.

Currently I've organized things by:
1) Things library folks need to know
2) Things library folks (may) need to do
3) Professional pathways (a set of perspectives for framing the content)

DM if you'd like to contribute to my brainstorming doc, or add your thoughts here👇

What aspects of human relationships to what we regard as "information" might change if instead of "discovery layers" these things were referred to as "encounter layers"?

Where else can inaccurate, ahistorical uses of "discovery" be removed from LIS work?
