popping in & out of #InfoOnline25 today but my glimpses of this morning have been inspiring 🌱 highlights: listen to First Nations people re. climate change; don't disregard the impact of young people; and the reminder that libraries are partners in #ClimateJustice & we're led by our communities ✊🏽

LIANZA Statement on Climate Action www.lianza.org.nz/wp-content/u... #InfoOnline25 #libraries

Young people are already taking on leadership roles with climate action. Don't include young people as part of an inclusion measure, empower them to lead! #InfoOnline25

Fantastic to hear young voices speak on the impact of climate change on Indigenous culture and the imperative of the culture sector to contribute to climate justice. #InfoOnline25 Malietasi Leah Bulu (Vanuatu) Sana Saleem (NZ/Fiji) Yanti Ropeyarn (AUS)

#InfoOnline25 end of day one thoughts: all speakers brought the conversation back to prioritising self-determination; bringing Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing into libraries; & non-Indig leaders partnering with Indigenous people 🫱🏾‍🫲🏽 however

Info Online is a 3 day online conference for library and information professionals in Australia. Great to have thousands of colleagues joining us online for the next 3 days! #InfoOnline25

Attending ALIA's Information Online conference today, learning about the NLA's ICIP Protocol implementation. Really liked this quote by James Baldwin, shared in the presentation. #InfoOnline25

tuned into ALIA #InfoOnline25 & my main takeaways from the morning discussions are: 1) there’s a disconnect between aspirations & reality re. implementing Indigenous protocols; 2) #IndigenousLibrarianship is its own discipline, not an add on; 3) allies must stop centring themselves & listen to us.

A warm and impactful opening keynote at #ALIA #InfoOnline25 on Building a Foundation for #IndigenousLibrarianship in Aus. “Establishing Indigenous Librarianship as a distinct profession creates a pathway for us to progress these efforts and support them into the future” —Thorpe & Booker #EduSky
