Global Libraries As Advocates For Information Policy Change
Friday, June 24, 20228:30am - 1:00pm
WASHINGTON CONVENTION CENTER, 150A
The pandemic has raised our awareness and understanding of the need for information
policies that support the ability of libraries to serve their communities. What are the persistent
and new policy issues that libraries around the world must focus on? How can we strengthen
our ability to influence legislative and legal change, and participate in the political process on
the local, national, and global levels?
This pre-conference will provide opportunities for learning and sharing, on the impact of the
pandemic on information policy, a detailed look at several key policy areas, and how library
professionals can be effective advocates in the legislative and legal arenas.
