Zoom Webinar: Cultivating Culturally Safe Collections

Jessie Loyer
Indigenous Engagement Librarian
University of Alberta
When: Wednesday April 10, 2024, 11am-12pm PST / 2-3pm EST
Where: Zoom (link emailed to hlabc listserv)
Jessie is a Cree-Metis Librarian who has published and presented in various areas of Indigenous Health, including collections work, reference, and information literacy. She has graciously agreed to present a Zoom webinar on this topic for our HLABC & CHSIG members.
This workshop will dive into systemic issues, and offer guidance for librarians doing collections work. I know this will be of great interest to members and we are so grateful to have Jessie take some time out of her schedule to join us.
Workshop Content:
The workshop will essentially address two main components of this work:
The System Component:
- A discussion of the healthcare structure Indigenous patients currently have to navigate to access information and care
The Practical Component:
- How we as librarians navigate our own collections, the gaps we need to address, and how to incorporate this into our own work.
