Session Abstract

This session will reveal the results of 113 academic librarians surveyed regarding their views on social justice advocacy. As part of a mixed-methods exploration, both quantitative and qualitative elements will be explored. Beyond a comprehensive survey administered, librarian advocates describe how they approach issues of social justice, what the benefits are of addressing inequities within academic libraries, what barriers they've encountered in their advocacy efforts and initiatives, and what advice a more experienced advocate might offer to a peer with less knowledge who is interested in becoming more involved.

Learning Outcome #1

At the end of this session, participants will be aware of various perspectives regarding advocating for social justice within academic libraries.  

Learning Outcome #2

Various themes are introduced based on the librarians who responded to the survey, which is intended to prompt an open and frank discussion amongst participants.
