MLA 2022 Annual Conference

One of the first tenets learned working in public libraries is to show all sides of an issue particularly in the materials collection. We help customers / patrons find information on a topic and let them reach their conclusion. But what if they want material that is disinformation? Is incorrect and not true? Libraries are also to provide accurate information and battle disinformation. How do we balance both of those values? Can we? This session will offer the opportunity to discuss library values, review a couple scenarios, and Scott will help develop a framework you can use in ethical decision-making. Come prepared to talk but don't expect easy answers!
