Breakout Session 1
9:30-10:05 a.m.
Consumer Health Information on the Internet: Current Issues
Nicole Capdarest, SIRLS MA student Room 410
Since the 1980s, personal computers and access to the Internet have boomed, making information, especially medical information, which was pre­
viously available only to select individuals with access to special databases, state­of­the­art search terminals, and professional publications, easily avail­
able and accessible. Whereas access to such information can be enormously helpful, it can also be potentially dangerous. To help improve consumer health information literacy skills and aid the public in accessing trustworthy sources of consumer health information, intermediaries, such as librarians, may take on a larger role in the future, especially with underprivileged and underserved populations.
Breakout Session 2
10:15-11:00 a.m.

mandates. However, progress does not come easy; special programs demand considerable investment in time and money. So, what happens to these efforts during an economic downturn? Are there ways to maintain momentum and sustain diversity efforts despite budget cut­backs? This roundtable discussion will address these very issues by sharing what is happening on the frontlines of diversity today. Through this dialogue, we hope to develop a survival guide 6"#$,-.#&#($1-0)#*-5($7#"2#&%*$-'$1-6348,5$)4"'"%-4$5-%)*9
Organizing Infoshop Libraries and Their Collections: Bringing the Com­
munity into Cataloging and Matching User Needs with Organizational Capabilities
Presented by Kristen Curé and Nicole Pagowsky, SIRLS MA students Room 310
Community­run infoshop libraries provide access to information of special in­
terest. Typically organized and maintained by non­librarians, there often is little organization to the collection. We present our collaboration with the Dry River Collective, as PLG­UA, to organize their library. We wanted to explore /":$4&'$:)$4#)&5)$*(*5)%*$"6$"#2&'-;&5-"'$5/&5$&#)$*8*5&-'&.,)$&'1$)634-)'5$
as well as supportive to the purpose and mission of infoshops. We will be dis­
cussing what an info shop is, options for organization (including special mate­
rials, such as zines), our course of action for Dry River, and why infoshops are important to communities and should be of interest to libraries and information professionals.

ploring with the Internet, Note taking and Collecting Information, Evaluating Resources, Preparing to present, Reference lists and Evaluating Research Skills. Students who participated in three sets of lessons expressed more con­

From duality to dilemma: Balancing the library on mission, community, and democracy
Room 310
Brief Biography: Rory Litwin is a reference librarian at the University of Minnesota, Duluth, where he handles subjects in the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. From 1998 to 2005 he published a web zine called Library Juice, which was about sharing progressive ideas in librarianship. After a short break in 2005­2006 he resumed it as a blog and a book publishing company publishing books on the same issues. He has been active in the Progressive Librarians Guild and ALA’s Social Responsibilities Round Table since he was in library school in 1997. He served on the Coordinating Committee of the Progressive Librarians Guild and the editorial board of the journal Progressive Librarian. In ALA he has served as a member and as coordinator of SRRT’s Action Council. He has also served a term on ALA Council. Recently he has become less active in these organizations and has begun focusing his energy on publishing books through Library Juice Press and Litwin Books.
