The notion that the tools we use are neutral and unbiased has been questioned recently as we recognize that the design of our technology, our spaces, and our services all have the potential to reflect (mostly) unconscious biases that can perpetuate inequality and exclusion. This workshop will explore this theme and give participants an opportunity to think about the unintended bias and inequality that has been designed into their own library. Through kinesthetic brainstorming, and play-based problem solving, we will begin building solutions to these problems to bring back to their home institutions. Sponsor: ACRL-MD This program is worth 1 contact hour of continuing education.
