Information Professionals: Building Back Better in the Post Pandemic World
5th Annual Joint SALIS/AMHL Conference
42nd Annual SALIS Conference
April 27 – 29, 2021 (Virtual)
In 2021, the pandemic had shaken up the world and revealed many cracks in our systems, including how information is valued, accessed and used. It’s time for information professionals to reassess our work in continuing to advocate for the value of the role we play in preserving knowledge and fostering information literacy to reduce vulnerability and build community resilience.
We are developing an interesting and varied program to appeal not only to SALIS and AMHL members, but to the broader community of librarian and information specialists, as well as others involved in issues related to mental health, behavioral addictions, and alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, opioids and other drugs.
Guest speakers included: Tom Babor on the upcoming release of the 3rd edition of ‘Alcohol: No Ordinary Commodity’ – Can a book change the world for the better?; Michelle Wu – Controlled Digital Lending; and M. J. Toohey – Resistance is Futile: Change or Die it is.
