L. Villagran, Assistant Professor, San Jose State University Dr. Darra L. Hofman, Assistant Professor, San Jose State University Moderated By: Nora Bird, Associate Professor and Program Director, University of North Carolina at Greensboro Presentation Description: Library professionals must deal with complex ethical challenges that implicate the rights and needs of countless different communities. While these challenges are often dealt with, at an institutional level, through policy, creating, implementing, and utilizing policy are all skills that require training. Through our research, we attempted to address this important question: "Are LIS programs preparing their students to meet the needs of LGBTQ+ patrons and stakeholders from a policy perspective in the workplace?" We utilized a research design that included a survey of LIS faculty, a content analysis of American Library Association-approved masters programs' learning outcomes and syllabi, a document analysis of the privacy policies of a purposive sample of libraries from all segments of librarianship, and semi-structured interviews with library employers within the United States and Canada. In this Webinar, we will provide an update on what we have found through this research relevant to the research question. In closing, we will offer details on the Research Grant program competition. This research was supported by the 2021-2022 Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE) Research grant. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/membership/join-arlisna Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.arlisna.org Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
