Librarians and the Labor of the Everyday
The labor of library workers is in some sense timeless: we select, acquire, organize,
preserve, circulate, and make accessible the sum of human knowledge. As we perform
these tasks, we produce and reproduce information structures that reflect the ideologies of
the present. Inevitably, this means we make new each day systems of patriarchy, white
supremacy, capitalism, and other social and political forces. We have the opportunity to
choose a different way of working with each book we describe and classify, each patron
question we help shape against our database interfaces, and each relationship we build with
each other in the building each work day. Making new futures asks us to shape our
professional practice around visions for a new future.

Breakout Sessions
Making the Shift: Embracing Active Learning Strategies in One-shot Library Instruction
Room: Hudson 102
Jennifer Whittaker and Sarah Lane
At SUNY Canton, we have been making the shift from lecture and demonstration style instruction
to a more active learning structure. Using models such as “learning by teaching,” scavenger
hunts, and “Think-Pair-Share,” we have discovered teaching is more enjoyable and students are
more engaged. It has also allowed us to better address the Framework for Information Literacy.
In this breakout session, we will be using the active learning model to introduce Menti,
GooseChase, and “Think-Pair-Share.” Participants will work in groups to investigate the
aforementioned tools and strategies to become more familiar with their applications. Groups will
present their findings to the workshop attendees in a practical demonstration of “learning by
teaching.” We will conclude the session with a group reflection on the process and discuss ways
to integrate active learning into information literacy instruction.
Hand in Hand: Tips and Insights for an Effective Mentor/Mentee Relationship
Room: Hudson 105
Denise A. Garofalo and Tiffany Davis
Mentorship can be a critical factor in developing and evolving our professional selves. But
mentoring requires a rapport, self-awareness, and commitment on both sides of the relationship.
A successful mentor is more than an advisor, and a successful mentee must ensure they shape
the mentoring conversations to meet their needs. If you have an interest in mentoring from either
side of the equation, this session should provide you with some background and approaches,
resources, an interactive exercise, and tips on how to find mentoring opportunities and how to
then make the most of the mentor/mentee relationship.
Text Mining & HathiTrust: An Introduction
Room: Hudson 104
Priscilla Seaman and Pradipta Pariyal
We hear the words text mining and HathiTrust in the course of our jobs as academic librarians,
but what do they mean and how can they be of use to librarians and their constituents? Join
Pradipta Pariyal, a recent University at Albany graduate with a master’s degree in computer
science, and Priscilla Seaman, a subject librarian at the University at Albany, for this breakout
session on these two topical areas of interest. Pradipta will provide information on the
foundational elements of text mining, including terminology, tools, and practical applications.
Priscilla will discuss how the HathiTrust’s Digital Library and its companion, the HathiTrust
Research Center, can empower librarians to better understand and communicate text mining to
their colleagues, students, and faculty.

Evolving Information Literacy Instruction Using a Case Study Technique
Room: Hudson 103
Vivian Milczarski and Amanda Maynard
In this session audience members will learn about using a case study designed to teach
information literacy skills within the context of a psychology course. Following a participatory
demonstration of this technique, there will be a discussion of the development of the case and the
IL instruction process. The advantages and disadvantages of this technique, along with the
application of this instruction to other disciplines, will be discussed.

Keynote Speaker: Courtney Young
Professional Development as a Primary Responsibility
Professional development for academic librarians is often seen as a secondary or tertiary
responsibility for improving professional practice. Would our view of and support for this activity
be different if we viewed it as having a direct and immediate impact on our primary assignment?
Is professional development in all its forms simply a garnish for our day-to-day responsibilities,
or is ita more central component of our professional practice? Building on the conference theme
of “Developing the Professional, Evolving our Profession” provides an opportunity for us to
consider how our professional practice is professional development, and professional
development is professional practice.
