About: Working in open environments enables faculty and librarians to support students as knowledge producers and surface their diverse, often under-represented voices. Assignments created using open pedagogy can broaden the audience and impact of student work. But how do students feel about working openly? How can faculty and librarians support and advocate for students in open environments?

What is Quantitative Data Really Good For? Throwing Great Big Noisy Fusses about White Colonial Power Structures *An Ode to Ramona Quimby (1/30/20)
Presented by: Brooke Robertshaw, PhD, Assessment Librarian at Oregon State University
About: If you don’t know Ramona Quimby, through this presentation you will learn a bit more about her. If you do know her, you know she is all about justice and fairness, but sometimes context needs to be changed so we can get to that space of justice. Thus, this webinar will discuss how, as a society, we got to a space where we are using quantitative methods as a tool of oppression, how we can rethink these uses, and ways to think about research as activism. Data, like Ramona’s rain boots, should be shown off, but it’s much prettier when we can rinse off some of the muck of white patriarchal colonialism.

Geek Out, Don’t Freak Out: How to Chill Out and Learn to Love Assessment (2/27/19)
Presented by: Colleen Sanders of Clackamas Community College and Meredith Farkas of Portland Community College
About: Assessment is such a valuable tool to help learn more about our patrons, demonstrate the value of what we do, and improve our teaching. So why is it so difficult to build an assessment culture in library instruction programs? Often, resistance to and anxiety about assessment come from common causes that have been both discussed in the literature and illustrated in our own experiences. Meredith and Colleen will talk about their experiences working with nascent assessment programs at their libraries, the projects they’ve worked on, and what they’ve learned from trial and sometimes error. They will discuss ways that librarians can move past resistance and anxiety to reap the benefits of an assessment culture.
Critical Library Management (1/11/19)
Presented by: Candise Branum, Director of Library Services at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, and Molly Gunderson, Access Services Manager at Portland State University
About: Oregon libraries work to meet the information needs of our communities, a mission that is dependent on teamwork. Library managers are tasked with leading, supporting and developing the teams that serve our communities. Social justice and critical theory are frameworks that are often discussed within library practice, but are only starting to be applied to library management practice. The more we discuss social justice, the more apparent it is that inclusion and equity are essential aspects of library management. The goal is for audience members to think critically about their own management practice and consider ways of improving equity and in their own organizations.
