SUMMARY:Capitalism and the Evolution of the Library Marketplace: From Philanthropy to Platforms
DESCRIPTION:This presentation traces how capitalism and neoliberal policy have shaped the library marketplace from the Carnegie era to today’s platform-dominated e‑resource ecosystem. By examining philanthropic foundations\, corporate consolidation\, the serials crisis\, rentier business models\, and platform capitalism\, it reveals how market forces influence library autonomy\, access\, pricing\, and infrastructure. Participants will gain historical context and practical strategies for navigating an increasingly commercialized information landscape.

The presenters will each showcase a specific assignment from one of their credit courses that encourages critical thinking: a discussion that engages with equity\, power\, and ethics in knowledge creation and access\, and AI Labs that encourage critical understanding of artificial intelligence.

SUMMARY:Demonstrating Relevance during Critical Times: Concierge Library Services
DESCRIPTION:Dwindling library use and rumors of upcoming staff cuts compelled me to offer personalized reference services that I had previously considered outside our normal scope. These budget-neutral “concierge services” allow us to form personal relationships with library users\, increase use of library resources\, and build advocates in a time when the library can be too easily overlooked.

SUMMARY:Reading Between the Bans
DESCRIPTION:In teaching a first-year seminar on banned books and censorship\, I found that controversy and disagreement can be productive starting points for teaching information literacy. By pairing current events with structured dialogue and research-based assignments\, students learned to evaluate claims\, consider power dynamics\, and examine how knowledge is shaped. I’ll share what worked\, what didn’t\, and practical strategies for guiding students through charged topics without shutting conversation down.
