In June 2023, I presented a reading for the class CIS 650 through the Univeristy of Alabama School of Library and Information Studies. The link to my presentation about "Library and Information Science Professionals as Community Action Researchers in an Academic Setting: Top Ten Directions to Further Institutional Change for People of Diverse Sexual Orientations and Gender Identities" by Bharat Mehra and Donna Braquet can be found here. Through the lens of gender and sexuality, we discussed topics which often impact research of underserved populations: does this problem not exist or are people not actively looking for it? How do we help combat lack of political protection? How do we share and contextualize information resources, bringing together once isolated groups? Speaking about invisible minorities brought up the topic of accomadations for disabilities and recent challenges to LGBTQ+ Pride book displays around the country. Having a written and public policy about book challenge procedures requiring people to reference the offensive message in a book can reveal that the challenger never read the book. As people are facing real consequences of recent Supreme Court decisions, academic libraries and public libraries both have potential to form relationships with local activists, residents, and community organizations. Ethnographic research in LIS can offer valuable insight. I would appreciate extra time to read more recent literature on efforts at public academic libraries supporting the LGBTQ+ community to compare circumstances and responses, but the term and class discussion time was quite short.
