Hi Everybody,

 

Please see attached the slides and a supporting bibliography from Anne Heidemann’s talk yesterday on the new IMLS grant that the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Libraries has just received to begin work decolonizing/indigenizing their catalog and information resources. Anne was incredibly gracious with her time and it is exciting to see this work get underway! She is happy to field follow-up questions—I’m cc-ing her on this mail. Unfortunately our call was not set-up to record.

 

Thanks again Anne for hopping on and speaking with us! We’ll be sure to follow-up on the project’s progress throughout the year.

 

All best,

 

 

 

Hi Everybody,

 

Our next meeting of the NDSA Content Interest Group will be tomorrow (Wednesday, July 10^th) at 11am ET on Zoom. Call-in info and agenda are below. Please be sure to use the call-in info in this email or at the top of tomorrow’s agenda. It is different than our normal standing Zoom link.

 

This month we’ll be joined by Anne Heidemann, Tribal Librarian at the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Libraries!

 

The Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Libraries has just received a National Leadership Community Catalysts Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to address the question: “How can tribal libraries use traditional ways of knowing and being to break free of the colonialist library organizational systems that reinforce a damaging worldview?”

 

Anne is serving as Principal Investigator on the project. We’re excited to learn about how this advances professional approaches and standards for better treatment of culturally sensitive materials as part of our interest in privacy and intellectual property for digital collections. Many of our institutions are grappling with issues in these areas. GVSU will be happy to share some of its own experiences on the call, and encourage others to do so as well. Please join us!
