$300.00
Dates: March 4 - April 14Credits: 2.25 CEUs or 22.5 PDHs
This course explores major topics in critical digital librarianship, an emerging field relevant to all types of library roles that interact with unique digital collections. We will engage with material that bring feminist, antiracist, queer, and other critical frameworks to digital librarianship. Topics include ethical digital selection, responsible open data, reparative description, critical software review, and the role of training for future librarians. This course pulls from the instructor's first-hand experience with a wide variety of critically-engaged cultural heritage projects, as the co-founder of the #LDLasData Speaker Series and as editor of the Journal of Critical Digital Librarianship.
The schedule of the course will be flexible to meet the needs and interests of the students. We will prioritize creating spaces of respect and appreciation for the work of our colleagues, and we will approach all critiques from a place of honest attempts for a healthier, more inclusive librarianship.
