The conference includes a one-day Indigenous Forum followed
by a day of sessions on a wide range of topics including: Governance of
Non-Profit Organizations, Accessibility, Customer Service, School
Librarianship, Data Analysis and Intellectual Freedom.
A Pre-Conference session
is also offered in the afternoon of May 6 at the Dr. John Archer
Library, University of Regina, 3737 Wascana Parkway, Regina. The theme
for the Pre-Conference is equity, inclusion and empathy in libraries.
The session will explore what happens when library values like freedom
of expression come in conflict with other values such as inclusion and
building community as has happened in libraries in a number of cities
across the country. How do libraries and library staff support minority
groups and help them see themselves represented in our libraries when
they may see our professional norms or values coming in conflict with
inclusion?
