The @DeEttaMJones session is in the Atrium Ballroom- the rooms next to the Starbucks! #acrl2019 What we’ll cover: what is change? Observations from the field. Perspectives from the field. How do we talk about change in a way that helps ppl understand Change: involves a lot of ambiguity, patience with process and uncertainty. Observations- behavioral preferences- librarians are preferring more introversion (generally speaking) that’s personal. DISC instrument measure behavior- for lib- perfectionist.

The Junot Díaz talk is up! #alaac18
Q: what advice would you give to have conversation about the whiteness of this profession and surviving this kind of environment or just facilitating a discussion about how we could express how we feel? .Junot Díaz: First of all, librarians, y’all know this. At least the POC know this. I’ve heard it from every POC and everyone involved in libraries, I think libraries need to be honest and have a reckoning of how much whiteness in library is cruelty towards its employees of color
