Core Voices: Infusing Indigenous perspectives across the curriculum, presented by Ginny Norris Blackson, Linfield College

Thursday, April 30
10 a.m. PDT

Join the webinar: https://emporiastate.zoom.us/j/99201514251

In 2015, the Washington State Legislature passed SB5433 requiring the Since Time Immemorial Tribal Sovereignty curriculum be taught in every public K-12 classroom. This new mandate provides collection development challenges and opportunities for all types of libraries. As part of the Brooks Library's plan to meet this challenge, Ginny Blackson applied for and received the 2016 Smithsonian Libraries' Neville-Pribram Mid-Career Educators Award. The award provided the opportunity to conduct research at the National Museum of the American Indian and Vine Deloria Jr. Library. Learn about tools to build outstanding collections that include Indigenous perspectives, and explore ways to identify and evaluate Native American and Alaska Native resources.

Ginny Norris Blackson is the Director of Libraries and Educational Media Services at Linfield College in McMinnville, Ore. Raised in the foothills of the Appalachians in central Kentucky, she holds an MLIS from the University of Kentucky. Her research interest focuses on Appalachian culture, feminism, and multicultural children and young adult literature.

It's been said that the current global crisis is a traumatic event. What does that mean in the context of our work, as employees and as organizations? Bryce Kozla doesn't have all the answers, but there are a few that can help us to think about it! Learn about the effects of stress on our brains and behavior, and some ideas to harness that knowledge to best work well together to help our community navigate this trying time.

Bryce Kozla is a Youth Services Librarian at Washington County Cooperative Library Services and a trained facilitator in Trauma-Informed Oregon's "Foundations of Trauma-Informed Care." This webinar will pull from this training and other resources.

Documenting History-Inclusion, Memory, Community, presented by Hannah Crummé & E.J. Carter, Lewis and Clark College

Thursday, April 30
1 p.m. PDT

Join the webinar: https://emporiastate.zoom.us/j/95596185127

Who built Portland? What cultural moments do our neighborhoods reflect? What is the history of the city and where is it recorded? Is it complete? Starting from these questions, this panel begins from the understanding that the history recorded by most archives reflects the people in power. Working backwards, we ask how this can be corrected, to make sure that libraries and archives across Oregon instead record a history that reflects the diverse makeup of the state. We examine case studies from libraries who have worked to build community collections and consider their successes, challenges, and failures. We explore what has been left undocumented and which eras, groups, and individuals have been overlooked by historians until now. Finally, we examine the work left to do, and consider how we can begin to expand and correct the record.

Dr. Hannah Leah Crummé is Head of Special Collections and Archives at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon. She completed her doctoral research at King's College, London. While much of her research focuses on the impact of the Spanish language on the development of poetic and political ideas of the Renaissance, she is also the lead researcher on the LSTA and CIC funded project "Vietnamese Portland: Memory, History, Community." This seven-year project, undertaken in 2017, is designed to increase the diversity of Lewis & Clark's archive and create more inclusive documentation of the city of Portland.

Dr. E.J. Carter is Special Collections and Archives Librarian at Lewis & Clark, where he has worked since 2014. He completed his doctoral study in history and an MLIS from the University of Illinois. He has published articles in Central European History (2006), RBMS: A Journal of Rare Books, Manuscripts, and Cultural Heritage (2010), and The Northwest Review of Books (2016). For the past two years he has helped coordinate and conduct interviews for Lewis & Clark's "Vietnamese Portland: History, Memory, Community" project. In a prior position, he built an oral history project at Chicago State University that focused on campus race relations in the 1960s.

The View from Olumo Rock Supporting Institutional Repository Development in Abeokuta, Nigeria, presented by Michael Boock & Richard Sapon-White, Oregon State University

Thursday, April 30
3 p.m. PDT

Join the webinar: https://emporiastate.zoom.us/j/96767721484

How does one promote open access and institutional repositories in a country where they are still relatively novel? Can you communicate effectively about library issues in a place where everyone speaks English as a second language? Do you eat amala with a fork or just use your fingers? The answers to these questions and more are the focus of this informative session on academic library development in Africa's most populous country.

In November, 2019, Michael Boock and Richard Sapon-White spent two weeks at OSU's sister library at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria, meeting with colleagues, consulting on setting up their institutional repository, and presenting at two conferences. They will also provide their up-close and personal experiences with Nigerian music, food, and popular culture, including their visit to the palace of the alake (king) of the Egbas. Come hear the highlights of their visit and learn the benefits of establishing a sister library relationship of your own!
