LES will be co-sponsoring a great session at ALA Annual with the RUSA History Section, and we’d love for you to join us if you’ll be in San Diego!
Marked for Death? Challenges to the Humanities and Humanities Librarianship will be presented on Saturday, June 29 from 4—5pm at the San Diego Convention Center. Co-sponsored by ACRL LES and the RUSA History Section, the program will feature panelists Jennifer Hofer, History Librarian at the University of Florida; Nancy Kranich, Teaching Professor at Rutgers University; Ethan Lindsay, Humanities and Social Sciences Librarian at Wichita State University; and Laura Semrau, Humanities Librarian at Baylor University. The panelists will engage in a conversation about the turn towards AI and quantitative studies, shrinking attention spans, and growing economic anxieties among students and how libraries and humanities librarians can respond to this real or imagined crisis.
