Free Online Conferences:

June 20, 2024, 12:00 - 3:00 pm PT, The Supportive Library: Helping Patrons Experiencing Homelessness<https://www.library20.com/the-supportive-library> (Library 2.0)

>From a librarian's perspective, when we think of patrons experiencing homelessness, we automatically know and understand that they are an especially vulnerable population. We also know that to work in libraries is to be on the forefront of homelessness. However, while we are working directly with vulnerable patrons, many of us may not know how to help someone who is unhoused or who is experiencing food or other insecurities. We may not understand why they don't trust us, or why they are striking out angrily toward us. We may not know the mental challenges or trauma they are experiencing or the loneliness and isolation they are feeling. In turn, this can expose our own vulnerabilities.

June 27, 2024, 12:00 - 2:30 pm PT, Teaching and Learning with AI<https://www.learningrevolution.com/teaching-and-learning-with-ai> (Learning Revolution)

While AI technologies have many dramatic benefits, there are also challenges and concerns expressed by professionals, students, and educators about the impact of these new technologies on teaching and learning and the information ecosystem as a whole. Some are reasonably concerned about protecting privacy and confidentiality of students while using generative AI tools and ensuring equity and accessibility. Others worry about ethics, plagiarism, bias, misinformation, transparency, and the loss of critical thinking. And all in the learning professions are wondering how AI might allow or require changes in pedagogy and curricula.

Self-paced resources, webinar recordings, podcasts, and articles:

LEARN: From Project READY (Reimagining Equity & Access for Diverse Youth)

While the primary focus of the Project READY curriculum is on improving relationships with, services to, and resources for youth of color and Native youth, it is also appropriate for those who are interested in improving their knowledge about race and racism, racial equity, and culturally sustaining pedagogy. For this week, two modules are recommended:

  *   Module 7: Exploring Culture<https://ready.web.unc.edu/section-1-foundations/module-7/>
  *   Module 8: Cultural Competence and Cultural Humility<https://ready.web.unc.edu/section-1-foundations/module-8/>

  *   Cultural Competency and Cultural Humility <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eWb7N6MJ8A>
  *   Understanding Your Own Attitudes & Bias<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbNq4PoSfyo>
  *   Cultural Competence Strategies<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_su7i9T9_M>

LISTEN: Hopeful Visions, Practical Actions: Cultural Humility in Library Work (Circulating Ideas podcast, episode #240)

Steve chats with the editors of Hopeful Visions, Practical Actions: Cultural Humility in Library Work, Sarah R. Kostelecky, Lori Townsend, and David A. Hurley, about what cultural humility is, the importance of self-reflection, mitigating power differentials, and why Venn diagrams are always the answer.

READ: Cultural Humility in Libraries<https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1135&context=ulls_fsp> (PDF), David A. Hurley, Sarah Kostelecky, Lori Townsend. January 2019.

  *   The purpose of this article is to introduce the idea of cultural humility, distinguish it from cultural competence, and argue that it has a role in librarianship.
  *   Libraries looking to address issues in intercultural communication and services to multicultural populations will find an approach that may be better suited to their contexts than prevailing models of cultural competency.
  *   Librarians need to commit to redressing the power imbalances and other structural issues that interfere with library service, for the benefit of the patrons, the library, and librarians themselves.

Highlighted events:

Tuesday, June 18, 2024. 12p PT  (90 minutes) Data storytelling 101 <https://www.webjunction.org/events/webjunction/data-storytelling-101.html>  (WebJunction)

Storytelling is a vital strategy for communicating impact and justifying future investments. Powerful and effective stories allow us to create a roadmap that weaves together information and emotion. This webinar will provide an orientation to storytelling that centers cultural humility while leveraging storytelling dynamics, including how to practice and refine an impactful story with a live audience. Participants will learn the techniques of story construction based on three classic narrative structures, with roots in folklore and narratology, and explore examples of data stories told by and about libraries. This is an opportunity to build confidence in the ability to recognize and craft a meaningful and memorable story.
