Going back through to miss a couple live sessions I missed and get started on tomorrow's live Q&A list!

#ERL23 #CampERL23

Excellent closing keynote!

#ERL23 #CampERL23

"It's time to be like Rapunzel and thrown down some hair." Let's get rid of the things that make academia the ivory tower that it has too long been. Let's help others in without having to figure out the secret phrase.

Choosing not to speak or act is not neutrality, but standing on the side of the oppressor. #ERL23

Keynote: In K-12, students are taken to the library weekly or so, so they are taught that if they need to go to the library, someone will let them know and take them. When they are out on their own, they assume that Google must be enough if no one is taking them to the library. 

My additional thought: And we're seeing that faculty, too often, are not willing to bring the library (our librarians) to them either.

I swear that our speaker just loves to yell, "Go, Cocks!" 😂

Make sure your information is intersectional. Real life doesn’t exist in a silo. #ERL23

Reach out to the student groups to work with them on providing what they need.

#ERL23

K-12 they're taken to the library on a schedule, so when they get to college they assume they don't need to go.

#ERL23

Can you talk with queer students about their lives and experience on better than a 100-level?

#ERL23

Why do we wait for Pride Month to put up our signs and displays? Why isn't there intersectionality on display all year?

Users are looking around and not seeing themselves too much of the time.

#ERL23 #CampERL23

Queer students want history, truth, and data on how to succeed. #ERL23

"Literature serves as a mirror." -Michael Brown, ER&L Closing Keynote Speaker

#ERL23 #CampERL23

When we look at metadata, we must take the time to properly label the things in our collections. Academic language gatekeeps.

#ERL23

Not understanding the lingo of a group of people may make their struggles seem like an attack. Service requires interest and. understanding. #ERL23

I'm very interested in this idea of adding collection values to the coldev policy. Anyone done that at their library already? If so, can you link me the statement/policy?

#ERL23

Okay, that session kind of broke my brain while I'm now considering so many pieces that our campus libraries need to consider as/if we move forward with more transformative agreements...

#ERL23 #CampERL23

Online question:

What about other considerations for TAs? That they perpetuate the power imbalance in the current system, further entrench and enrich profit-driven legacy publishers and recreate the Big Deal in a new form (not sustainable for library budgets) and that the reinforce the APC model which is inequitable and exclude poorer institutions?
