ALA Student Chapter of Indiana University SLIS Diversity Talk by 2 Public Library Directors: March 10, 2010

Sara Laughlin, Monroe County Public Library, and
John Helling, Bloomfield-Eastern Greene County Public Library

Hear their perspectives on challenging issues:

Wednesday, March 10, 2010
1:00-1:45 p.m.
SLIS, Room 031

***RSVP to: slis@indiana.edu*...**

The talk is a part of the Indiana University Campus Diversity Day. Events will be held around the IU Bloomington campus. The campus-wide theme is "Toward Civil Conversation."

Public Library Directors Laughlin and Helling have been asked to speak on this theme - with a focus on the profession.

Issues that may be addressed:

How do public libraries manage controversial topics, materials - protests by people - different points of view - homeless concerns - different ethnic, cultural, age - and general diversity concerns?

An American Library Association - Office of Intellectual Freedom training session addresses "Controversial Materials in the Library: Supporting Intellectual Freedom in Your Community." This topic may shape some of the presentation.


The event is co-sponsored by the SLIS student groups: ALA-SC and PLG-SC.



SLIS Diversity Statement:
The Indiana University School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) strives to make all students feel welcome. Saying that we value diversity is a way to say that we want students to feel welcome - all students - from all backgrounds. We want to create an educational atmosphere that is inviting, respectful, and that values human dignity and individuality.
