SPARC-ACRL Forum: Save the Data: The Role of Librarians in #datarescue Col- laborations, 3:00–4:30 p.m. In the current political climate, the endangerment of feder- ally funded research results, including data, has become a reality. In response to such potential data loss, librarians, archivists, and researchers have joined forces in grassroots efforts like “DataRefuge” events and “En- dangered Data Week,” raising awareness and enabling data to be saved that other- wise might disappear. This session will fea- ture speakers presently or recently involved in #datarescue work, reporting out on the movement, identifying challenges and les- sons learned, offering guidance and tips for potential local #datarescue efforts, and rec- ommending what further roles organizations like ACRL and SPARC can play in this space.

Going with (and Growing with) the Framework: Teaching Information Literacy with a Social Justice Lens. ACRL Preconference @ ALA An- n u a l C o n f e r e n c e , 9 : 0 0 a.m.–4:00 p.m. Through panel presentations and hands-on workshops, par- ticipants will develop strat- egies and approaches for teaching the Framework that also incorporate a so- cial justice lens. The transi- tion from the Standards to the Framework has been challenging for many li- b ra r i a n s , e s p e c i a l ly b e - cause the Framework calls for a conceptual approach to information literacy instruction, instead of relying on measurable, skills-based outcomes. Yet the Framework may provide opportunities for deeper, more transformative learning and challenge students to think more critically about their own power and privilege, as well as the lack of certain voices, within the information ecosystem.

To avoid this last pitfall, we keep a large supply of several different colors of whiteboard markers and make them readily available to students. However, we some- times have difficulty meeting requests for markers or have had to ration them when our supply budget has run low. The cost of upkeep on both the walls/boards and mark- ers is something that we have committed to for the foreseeable future, as students now expect us to provide these things. One final consideration might be to start this as a small project, maybe just focusing on whiteboard content in a small part of the library, before doing it on a large scale. In addition, it takes some time to main- tain the mobile whiteboards, which are used as a shared intellectual space for library information and monthly activities. It can be time-consuming to add information, materi- p.m. Contacts: Rebecca Nowicki, Rebecca. nowicki@ashford.edu, and Brandon West, westb@geneseo.edu. Science and Technology Section.

We often write a question for students to answer on the boards, and it’s important to think about who will monitor the boards and create the questions. In our library, various individuals have taken on the task of posting questions in a fluid system. Sometimes the board fills up quickly, so it might eventually be a good idea to designate certain individuals who will create questions, and develop a process for reviewing the questions, or a Google Doc for suggested and planned questions. Overall, the whiteboard project has been very successful for the UCA Library. We have seen marked increases in both our social media following and engagement with students. Though we have incurred some maintenance and upkeep costs, we are excited about continuing the project.
