Open Letter to CRL from the academic wing of #CripLib - ACRLog

https://acrlog.org/2025/05/27/open-letter-to-crl-from-the-academic-wing-of-criplib/

The academic wing of #criplib has written a response to the "DEI training violates privacy of thought" C&RL piece: https://acrlog.org/2025/05/27/open-letter-to-crl-from-the-academic-wing-of-criplib/

“Even if your employer does not see your responses, these ninety-six questions are presumptuous and invasive. Asking about a person’s thoughts in this way violates privacy of thought…” (p. 435).

"Is learning something new or considering new approaches an invasive violation of privacy? It seems absurd on its face." 💯

So remember that “research” article posted in CR&L about how DEI was a privacy violation? Well now there’s an actually well-researched letter about all the research failings of that article from the academic portion of #CripLib: https://acrlog.org/2025/05/27/open-letter-to-crl-from-the-academic-wing-of-criplib/

Hiring Librarians Podcast S02 E12: Jay

Oh hey, it’s the twelfth episode of season two!

This episode my guest is Jay, who you may know from the Library Punk podcast. If you haven’t listened to it, it’s a leftist podcast, and I find it fun, interesting, and opinionated. I did an episode back in October. While I was there, Jay mentioned that he had recently transitioned from his role as the director of a small academic library to a role in the cataloging department of a public library system. I thought that would be an interesting journey to talk about, so (six months later) here we are. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

An AI-generated and not completely error free transcript is here.

Speaking of links, in this episode we talk about:

• Library Punk
• Homosaurus
• Democracy is Power: Rebuilding Unions from the Bottom Up
• Berserk

This podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube music and other various podcasting sites (let me know if you can’t find it on your preferred platform).

I’d love to hear your requests or other feedback for moving forward. And please do reach out if you want to be a guest!

Hiring Librarians Podcast S02 E11: Scott Davis

This episode focuses on how how librarianship skills can apply to digital asset management roles in non-traditional librarian settings, and more specifically at eCommerce giants and Silicon Valley tech start-ups.

Hiring Librarians Podcast S02 E10: Katie Quirin Manwiller (part two of two)

Oh hey, it’s the tenth episode of season two! This is the second of two episodes discussing disability and LIS hiring. This episode focuses a little more on advice for people doing hiring, and first episode focused a bit more on advice for people looking for work. But both of these perspectives come up in each episode.

Katie Quirin Manwiller is the Education Librarian and Assistant Professor at West Chester University. She is chronically ill and dynamically disabled. Katie’s scholarship focuses on improving disability inclusion in libraries through incorporating disability into equity work, addressing disability misconceptions, and creating accessible work environments. She is currently pursuing a second master’s degree focused on disability inclusion in higher education.

A few months ago, I was looking for resources to add to the “Accommodations and Disabilities” section of Interview Resources for Job Seekers. Katie Quirin Manwiller, who had written Hiring Better: Disability Accommodations & the Hiring Process here on Hiring Librarians, popped up to provide several great links. She was also kind enough to agree to come on the podcast to talk about this more (and not just once, but twice!)

You can find an AI-generated and not completely error free transcript here.

Here are links for some of the things we talk about in this episode:

• Energy Pacing Guide, from #MEAction
• Disability Accommodations – Resources from Katie’s 2025 ACRL presentation
• Inclusive Workplace Practices guide from Arizona University (archived copy, as they have removed this from their website
• Manwiller, K. Q., Crozier, H., & Peter, S. (2024). Improving Inclusion with Universal Design in the Academic Library Hiring Process. , 123-135. https://digitalcommons.wcupa.edu/lib_facpub/34/
• Demystifying Disability by Emily Ladau – a book for allies
