Lovely to see this little @libraryjuicepress.bsky.social book I contributed to in print! ✨

Commercial platforms are increasingly shaping library operations - my chapter focuses on how crackdowns on crawling & API access limit what is preserved by deposit libraries 🚫

Sophie was working the @libraryjuicepress.bsky.social booth, & I was excited to find out all books were 50% off! Censorship is a Drag is sold out but you can order it at the dsct! I was even more jazzed to find these 2 books I’ve been wanting to read for a while! Small but good haul today #alaac25
Three books in a pyramid on a white coverlet. The top book has a red cover with blacked out title and authors & is Censorship is a Drag. The bottom left book has an off white color with different color & thickness looping lines at the bottom and a big title that says “Preserving Disability” & small words “Disability & the Archival Profession”. The bottom right book has a blue purple green gradient cover with white letters that say “Trans and Gender Diverse Voices in libraries” & small white letters saying “edited by Keahi Adolpho, Steven G. Krueger, and Krista McCracken”

ALA Social Responsibilities Round Table Afternoon of Social Justice

Call for Presentations

Theme: Artificial Intelligence

Social Responsibilities Round Table Afternoon of Social Justice Call for Presentations Theme: Artificial Intelligence When August 4, 2025, online, via Zoom This event is free and Open to the Public - Advance Registration Required. Registration will open in July, 2025. Why Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a controversial and critical topic across numerous sectors that extend far beyond the domain of Library and Information Science. Its production, proliferation, and applications have vast social justice implications and human impacts that call for greater recognition and critical reflection. We hope to foster this learning opportunity at our 2025 event. We are interested in dynamic presentations that explore AI’s vast and varied terrain. Here are some of the topics we are hoping speakers and attendees will explore through presentations and facilitated discussion: Bias (algorithmic, human, racial) Privacy Ethics of/in AI Sustainability, ecological, and environmental impacts Carceral applications of AI Reference services and AI AI and immigrant communities AI and racial or social justice Digital equity and divide Information production, integrity, and dissemination Militarization Public policy and application of AI for public systems and benefits Critical approaches to Using and Teaching AI in different LIS settings/populations, e.g., academic libraries, schools, archives ChatGPT and the future of academia/education Labor, capitalism, and workforce/place issues (beyond LIS) Global impacts, including trade, mineral extraction, and other issues Applications in public policy and provision of public services Submission Process and Deadline Please submit your proposal using this form by June 18, 2025. Our planning team will review your proposal and respond as soon as possible. We anticipate a robust number of applicants and will make every attempt to be inclusive and accommodating of multiple perspectives and speaker availability. Please note that a small honorarium will be provided to all speakers who are not ALA members. Please share this call with your networks!
