It's not too late to join us for the Minitex Technical Services Symposium, taking place on November 9th. Registration closes on Monday, November 8th. This year’s theme is Good Trouble: Activism and Ethics in Technical Services. The program will feature keynote speaker Beth Shoemaker, Rare Book Librarian at Emory University and co-chair of the Cataloging Ethics Steering Committee, which released the Cataloging Code of Ethics in January 2021. The second keynote will be Kenda Zellner-Smith, founder of Save the Boards Minneapolis, which seeks to preserve the art created after the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police. There will be six additional breakout sessions to choose from on wide-ranging technical services topics, from the impact of empathy to specific how-tos and plenty in between.
Get acquainted with our newest Minitex Resource Sharing staff member, Allison Hansen.
