DPLA, COSLA, and RF: Collaborating for Access: Book Challenges in a Digital World

In this third in our Collaborating for Access series of webinars hosted by COSLA, DPLA, and ReadersFirst, we’ll look at what the current political environment of increased book challenges means for digital content. What opportunities are available for libraries to use digital materials to maintain access, and in what ways are digital content and the libraries providing it open to unique attacks across the political spectrum? We’ll bring together a panel of librarians and thought leaders to discuss the ramifications of challenges in the digital world and look at potential solutions digital access may provide.

The session is Tuesday, June 7, at 1 pm ET

Please register here.

Speakers will include librarians from New York Public Library, North Dakota, and Kentucky.

Because much library digital content is accessed through a vendor/app, it is a dream-come-true for would-be censors. Imagine being able to remove public access to thousands of books with the flick of a single toggle. Join us for a lively and sometimes frightening discussion. Fahrenheit 451 is not an impossible future.
