Increasing threats to institutions of higher education, library funding, and censorship of resource and collection decisions can provide a starting point for understanding the academic landscape. While book bans and censorship, criminalization, and manufactured fury have dominated the school and public library discourse, academic library professionals face broader threats. The politics behind the pressure being exerted on academic institutions, curriculum decisions, research, accreditation, tenure, and scholarship as a whole are cognizable, and the responses come from an established playbook. These attacks provide library professionals with an opportunity to engage their institutional leadership in a stratagem designed to understand the scale of the assault and the remedies that can inoculate the institution as a whole.
Join noted experts in policy and advocacy and lean into the knowledge, strategies, and tools academic librarians need to respond and lead.
