Help! I'm Accidentally in Charge of Moving a Government Documents Collection Speakers:
What do you do when you’re suddenly faced with moving a regional FDLP library on a deadline? How do you maintain public access to your collection and provide good customer service during a relocation? When working with limited resources, how do you prioritize? Hear from two librarians from the State of Arizona Research Library about the strategies we used to manage the move of Arizona State and Federal Government Documents collections. The discussion will include answers to these questions and more: we’ll cover different approaches to moving our two collections, moving struggles and challenges, the good things about moving, and hindsight into what we would have done differently. |

Gov Docs are Special Too! Primary Source Instruction using Government Information Collections Speakers:
From one-shot collaborations with Special Collections colleagues to embedded research visits, there are many ways to use Government documents in library instruction. This panel will feature case studies of library instruction sessions that highlight Government documents as primary sources. Presenters will share example lesson plans, activities, and/or handouts utilized in instruction. Depending on the size and history of a FDLP Government documents collection, libraries may have an abundance of primary sources that can supplement Special Collections manuscript or map collections. Integrating Government documents into Special Collections instruction allows librarians to highlight historic materials that are relevant to their users. Through collaborations with Special Collections colleagues, these instruction sessions raise the profile of historic Government documents and put them in the hands of users. This discussion may be useful to other FDLP Coordinators who wish to learn more about using Government documents in primary source instruction, integrating Government documents into general library instruction, and/or wish to share their own experiences with colleagues. The panel will allow time for Q&A or group discussion, depending on the number of attendees. |

Cybersecurity and Your Personal Information: Balancing Your Right to Information Access with Your Need for Privacy Speaker:
Those of us who work with Government information in libraries are fully committed to open and transparent access to the information our users need to be fully functioning citizens. At the same time, we are aware of the need to protect the personal information of our users from any unwanted and unauthorized use. This program addresses how our Government works to protect our personal data while providing access to information we need as citizens. Questions answered in this program include: How do I know the Government will keep my personal data private when I access Government websites such as Social Security or when I file my income taxes? Also, how do I know that my personal data and the data from sites I search are secure from hacking by individuals, organizations, or misuse of any type? |
