[Delanda, Mayra]

Good afternoon everyone!

My name is Mayra DeLanda and I am the new Dean of Library and Instructional Support Services at South Seattle College. I had a chance to catch up with Greg last week and hear a little more about what this group is working on and I am excited to join in and be a part of it. I look working with all of you!

Mayra

ALD/ACRL-WA is pleased to announce that we will be holding the 2023 ALD/ACRL-WA and ACRL-OR Joint Fall Conference in person at Lower Columbia College, in Longview, WA on Friday, October 27, 2023.


2023 ALD/ACRL-WA and ACRL-OR Joint Fall Conference

Friday, October 27, 2023 | 8am to 5pm

In-person, Lower Columbia College, Longview, WA


We are currently accepting proposals in the theme of The Work of Libraries. Proposals are due on Monday, May 22. You can submit your proposal here<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1GY0YGjF1m83hBKK-kD_3MlUvLBnAha6lxCZFN3Pd7NA/viewform?edit_requested=true>. For questions, please contact the WLA office at info at wla.org or (206) 823-1138.


People, and their labor, are the core of academic libraries. This work can be exciting, monotonous, high stakes, invisible, precarious, invigorating, and exhausting. Like other forms of labor, work in academic libraries has changed dramatically since the advent of the pandemic, and continues to change.


This conference is an opportunity to explore the different ways in which we engage with our work. How does your library ensure that others understand and value the labor that goes into providing library services and maintaining library collections? How does your institution value and engage all the workers in your library, including student workers? How do you work during a time of social and political anxiety that has direct ramifications for library workers and library patrons?  What does it mean to ensure that your libraries are more equitable places in a time of “DEI work”? What strategies do you use to manage your workload and protect your personal and professional boundaries? What work are you proud of and why?


This conference welcomes proposals that incorporate this theme through case studies and other forms, particularly proposals that are rooted in practical, daily workplace experiences.


The Conference is accepting both in person sessions and pre-recorded, asynchronous sessions. Sessions can take the form of:

  *   Lightning talks (10 minutes)
  *   Workshops (90 minutes)
  *   Unconferences (1-3 hours)
  *   Presentations (45 minutes)


A note about location. Historically, in the years when the ALD/ACRL-WA and ACRL-OR Joint Fall Conference was held in Washington it has been held at Pack Forest, near Eatonville, WA. Based on feedback from previous years, and the impact of the pandemic, the division has decided to move the conference to Lower Columbia College in Longview, WA. We are excited for this new chapter in the Conference’s history, and hope you are as well.


Best,

Lydia Bello, Chair

On behalf of the 2023 Conference Committee
