ACRL Technology and Ethics: Supporting Privacy and Free Expression in the Digital Age (ACRL) The digital age brings a myriad of ethical issues concerning privacy and free speech. Libraries providing access to computer terminals face difficult challenges: Conflicts arise between the need for confidentiality and security. Libraries are expected to provide a safe and appropriate environment for under-age patrons, while also respecting the right of adult citizens – particularly those without home Internet access – to communicate freely and access all online information that all Americans have the right to obtain. Co-sponsored by the ALA Committee on Professional Ethics. Track: Current Issues & Hot Topics Moderators: Rebecca Blakiston, University of Arizona, Instructional Services Librarian Speakers: Rebecca MacKinnon, New America Foundation; Global Voices Online, Senior Fellow; Co-Founder ACRL - IS Making Information Literacy Instruction Meaningful through Creativity (ACRL/IS) This program invites participants to re-create excitement about information literacy through creativity. Panelists will discuss teaching as a process of shared learning with students. The panel will engage participants in a conversation that expands the conventional definition of information literacy to include creativity. The session will interactively explore how creativity can facilitate the transfer of learning. Track: User Services Subtrack: Best Practices & Programming Speakers: Merinda Kaye Hensley, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Instructional Services and Reference Librarian; Randy B. Hensley, Baruch College, CUNY, Professor & Coordinator of Information Services; Dane Ward, Illinois State University, Associate Dean for Information Assets ACRL - RBMS ACRL - Arts Creating Multimedia Metadata: Controlled Vocabularies Across Time and Space (ACRL/Arts) The performing arts are ephemeral textual forms that often elude capture and are difficult to access. While libraries and archives have developed metadata that enables research into collections of written texts, little has been done for texts that encompass space and time: dance, theatre, architecture, and archeology. This panel will discuss issues and possible solutions to the development of controlled vocabularies for, and systematic description of, performance arts objects: both tactile and ephemeral. Co-sponsored by the ALCTS Metadata Interest Group and the ACRL Image Resources Interest Group Track: Digital Information & Technologies Moderators: Kathleen Haefliger, Chicago State University, Music & Performing Arts Librarian Speakers: Jenn Riley, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Head, Carolina Digital Library and Archives; Lucie Wall Stylianopoulos, University of Virginia, Head, Fiske Kimball Fine Arts Library 119 ANNUAL CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION 2011 You Can’t Always Get What You Want (But Sometimes You Get What You Need): Special Collections in Tough Economic Times (ACRL/RBMS) We propose to present a moderated panel discussion on the subject of how tough economic times have affected special collections. Participants will include representatives of at least three types of institutions: 1.) a large university with a separate special collections library; 2.) a smaller university or college where special collections are part of the main library; and 3.) an independent research library. Questions and comments from the audience will be part of the conversation. Track: Administration and Leadership Subtrack: Collaboration Speakers: Richard W.
