2024 Iowa Library Association Fall Conference

This session will explain bias in cataloging and outline how we at Des Moines Public Library reclassified “othered” histories (from the 300s) to the 900s.

How we built our own Library TV Channel from the ground up! This is a novel way of expanding outreach and programming potential.

This presentation introduces a toolkit designed to foster community partnerships in providing mental health information and programming. It will cover the toolkit's potential benefits, key components, and practical application.
Presenters will describe the toolkit's key concepts, principles, and components and demonstrate how to apply them effectively in community settings. Evaluate the significance of community partnerships in managing mental health information and programming and utilize the toolkit to plan and implement these partnerships.
