CritLib: Theory and Action
CritLib, or critical librarianship, is a movement to bring social justice principles into our work in libraries. CritLib aims to engage participants in discussion about critical perspectives on library practice. At this workshop we will explore the CritLib movement, investigate our own assumptions and their effect on our work and our patrons, and learn from librarians who have tried to make libraries more inclusive.
