2017 ALISE Annual Conference - Location Survey Results

Dear ALISE members,

Thank you for providing such valuable feedback in response to our survey for the location of the 2018 ALISE conference. This feedback has helped the Board reach its decision to hold the conference in Denver, Colorado, February 6-9 (venue to be announced), just before the ALA mid-winter conference in the same location. Please note that this time frame might fall late in the hiring process. We will continue to consult with you to determine the location of future conferences.

With best regards,

Louise Spiteri
President, ALISE

ALISE 2016 Conference Hotel Scam

It has recently come to our attention that members have been the victims of a hotel poaching scam. Some conference registrants have received a call saying that the Boston Park Plaza Hotel is not offering the agreed upon conference rate, and that they will remedy the situation. Do not give your credit card information to these callers. If you would like to contact the Boston Park Plaza Hotel regarding your reservation, their phone number is 1-800-225-2008.

If you have previously confirmed your hotel reservation, your room rate was guaranteed at the time of booking and will be honored by the hotel. If you have not yet booked your hotel room, the ALISE hotel reservation cut-off date has passed, and the hotel will no longer guarantee the conference rate on new bookings, but will offer the best rate available to our guests.

ICYMI: ALISE Xchange Webinar - Cognitive Justice

Information Ethics SIG presents: Cognitive Justice Theory: Why and How to Incorporate it into the LIS Curriculum

Webinar Date:
March 4, 2015 
 
Webinar Leader: John T.F. Burgess, University of Alabama

Description: 
Many LIS professionals recognize the value in preserving the documents of marginalized cultures and the ethical responsibility to do so, but what about preserving those cultures’ ways of making sense of the world? Supporters of cognitive justice theory argue that a culture’s dignity is infringed upon when external worldviews are imposed upon a population. The dominant epistemology employed by the LIS discipline is an example of this kind of external worldview. This means that even as LIS professionals adhere to their principles, their practice may be perpetuating a specific and preventable form of injustice. 
This webinar will discuss how to reconcile these positions in ways that clarify the ethics of collaborating with marginalized cultures and will detail how to introduce cognitive justice concepts into traditional LIS coursework.
