Greetings, all! LIS Microaggressions is soliciting Post-it submissions to be collected and included in our first ever LIS Microaggressions zine, which will be distributed at the upcoming ARLIS <https://www.arlisna.org/fortworth2015/>, ACRL <http://conference.acrl.org/>, and REFORMA <http://www.reformanationalconference.org/> conferences this month. This zine will also be available for download on our site <http://lismicroaggressions.tumblr.com>! *Definition:* Microaggressions are brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative racial slights and insults toward individuals from marginalized communities. Microaggressions can be difficult to identify because they are more nuanced, subtle forms of prejudice. They may arise from the language we use with our peers, the assumptions we make of others, or perceived compliments. *Submissions:* Snail mail your Post-it submission to the address below postmarked by *Friday, March 13th*. Please write or draw your microaggression on a Post-it (or plain paper) no larger than 3x3. Submissions can be anonymous, or feel free to include your name/pseudonym/handle/etc. The zine will be constructed by LIS Microaggressions editors, like our ALA 2014 poster <http://lismicroaggressions.tumblr.com/post/90266947843/thanks-to-everyone-who-came-to-the-diversity> but in zine form! *Mailing address:* Cynthia Mari Orozco California State University Long Beach 1250 Bellflower Boulevard, MS-1901 Long Beach, CA 90840-1901 If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at [log in to unmask] Thanks so much!
