[Libs-Or] The latest issue of the OLA Quarterly is now available! Second Notice

[Charles Wood]

The latest issue of the OLA Quarterly is now available!  This is a second
notice to increase the readership of the articles that the authors worked
on for a long time.  Individual articles are listed below.

The theme is Critical Librarianship, and the Guest Editor is Elsa Loftis,
Director of Library Services at the Oregon College of Art and Craft past
president of the Oregon Library Association.  From Elsa’s introduction, “So,
what does critical librarianship mean, exactly, and how is it practiced? To
think about this, we look at librarianship through a lens of critical
theory and understand that there is a certain amount of activism implied.
To embrace critical librarianship means that you believe that libraries
should work for social justice (and figure out ways to actually do that
work). Critical librarianship also invites library workers to consider how
our institutions and our roles have enforced or at least complied with
systems of oppression, both in the past and now.”
