Never Neutral: Resistance, Persistence, Insistence
2018 Annual Conference – SALIS’s 40th, SALIS/AMHL’s 3rd
May 1 – 4 · Berkeley, California, USA
In honor of SALIS’s 40th birthday, the 2018 SALIS & AMHL (Association of Mental Health Librarians) Conference was held in Berkeley, California, home of SALIS Home! 2018’s hosts were Julie Murphy of PIRE, Tom Colthurst of the Silver Gate Group, SALIS Executive Director Andrea Mitchell, and Len Levin of the Association of Mental Health Librarians (AMHL).
Our theme in 2018 was Never Neutral: Resistance, Persistence, Insistence, and presentations focused on how our work as information professionals and/or policy makers intersects with what can only be described as an assault on facts, privacy, and access to information resources.
Some of our speakers included:
Bob Saltz, Prevention Research Center: Why focus on community-level prevention research?
Kay Deeney, NNLM, PSW Region: NLM response to the substance use crisis.
Chad Dubeau, Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA): Reporting on addictions trends
Fiona Inglis, Sharon Bailey, Terri Rodak, all from Centre for Addiction & Mental Health: Demonopolizing mental health and addictions knowledge for clinicians in underserved communities
