Jordan Meyerljmeyerl@uwyo.eduConsidering Communication Silos with Non-Professional StakeholdersAs professional archivists, we use specific technical language to complete our various responsibilities. However, when working with non-professional stakeholders, such as volunteer staff at smaller cultural heritage institutions, our technical language can become a barrier. This panel/roundtable would discuss and elaborate on this “language barrier,” highlighting tactics utilized by archivists today to break down these communication silos without losing the technical language and concepts integral to our field. It would also discuss ways in which we approach these communication silos within our own institutions, such as when working with non-archival graduate student workers or IT staff. Each interested presenter can bring their own point of view to the table to allow for a diverse range of topics.Catherine Dean, Technical Services and Archives Librarian, Texas A&M University-Texarkana

Wendy Guerra & Laurinda Weissewguerra@unomaha.edu; weissell@unk.eduBilingual oral historiesPanel discussion. Both Univeristy of Nebraska at Omaha and Kearney have recently done bilingual oral history projects. Still in the works even! If others have as well, it could be great opportunity to discuss the projects as well as the mechanics of doing bilingual oral histories, the opportunities and pitalls of working with granting agencies, and building collaborative relationships with partners and participants. At both UNO and UNK the oral histories were centered on the Latinx population in NE. Robert Weaver - see line 4, aboverobert.g.weaver@ttu.edu

Whitney Russellwhitney.russell@uta.eduDigitization Projects and DEI OR Student Training on Digital ProjectsI haven't really thought this through extensively, but I would love to do a presentation on challenges/opportunities with student work and Digitization proejcts. We have been doing a lot of work with digitizing DEI related collections as well as doing reparative metadata for our digital collections AND archival descriptions in our finding aids. We have also been working on a content warning statement and content filter for our digital collections. Pivoting a little, we could also go through trainings for students on this work (we use canvas) and teaching about secondary trauma and that kind of work

Ada Negraruanegraru@mail.smu.edu (until Jan.20, 2023; new work email to be added in Jan. 2023)Wrapping Up before Moving On - Dealing with Professional TransitionsPanel discussion. 4-5 panelists. How are archivists dealing with "the great resignation," or at least with professional transition? It seems that almost every day someone we know is announcing that they are leaving their position: whether unhappy with their current job, retiring, relocating, or leaving the field in order to start a different career, many archivists are in transition. However, navigating ongoing projects and dealing with competing priorities while also preparing to start a new chapter can seem overwhelming. Ada Negraru and Emily Grubbs (both in the process of leaving their SMU positions and starting new ones by the end of Jan. 2023) will talk about these challenges and will offer practical tips for those in similar situations.

Danielle Afsordehdtafsordeh@cals.orgA Case for the Community Outreach ArchivistPanel discussion - I am hoping to have three folks with community outreach as part of their job description discuss their efforts in community outreach and engagement and how it has enriched representation in their collections and their reputation with underrepresented community groupsDylan McDonald, New Mexico State University

Jennifer Heckerjennifer.hecker@austintexas.govCreating A Welcoming Reading RoomWe have been rethinking some of our policies and processes in order to create a more welcoming space for both serious researchers and casual visitors to the Austin History Center. How have you reconsidered what you are doing in this space? Have you changed policies, rearranged furniture, remade your desk schedule, added or removed features? Modified your training or implemented new tools? We want to share what we've done & learn from others. This could be a traditional panel featuring presentations of case studies followed by discussion...or something else? Seeking a couple more folks!Shannon Walker, Arizona State University (we have a newly-remodeled library and reading room) Meagan May, University of North Texas Special Collectionsacase@tulane.edu; Shannon.Walker.1@asu.edu; meagan.may@unt.edu

Elias Larralde, Ashley Swinford, & Emily Una Weirichemilyuna@arizona.edu, ashleyswinford@arizona.edu, egl22@arizona.edu Expanding reference services and accessPanel Discussion or Lightning Talks (depending on interest). How are we changing practices and adding services to make our archives more accessible in our hybrid world? As technology continues to expand - and how we all interact with technology has changed through the pandemic - can we meet hybrid (or 100% virtual) user expectations by integrating new technologies into our archival practices? We would love to work with others if any of y’all are also considering similar topics! We’ve expanded our reference services to include virtual reference sessions via zoom. We conduct reference interviews and share collections by using an overhead camera pointed at archive items. Three of us here can talk about why and how we do this; the benefits for users, staff, and collections; and how this adds to the training of our new professional colleagues.

Samantha Schafersschafer@nationalcowboymuseum.orgDiversity versus PrivacyPanel discussion (3-5 presenters). I want to discuss the complications that exist in diversity initiatives/reparative description/etc between making archives accessible and protecting individual and/or cultural privacy. Really inspired by a recent article in American Archivist and its theory on representational subversion. (https://doi.org/10.17723/2327-9702-85.1.60)Jennifer Follen, University of Rhode Island

"Accessibility, Inclusion, and Community:" Moving from Discourse to PraxisI messed up and didn't add this in on time, but in the off chance it's not too late-- I'm interested in a panel that would explore the following questions: What do archivists and academics mean when we leverage the discourse of "professional" versus "non-professional," or "institutional" versus "community based"? What are the implications of these binaries in terms of how resources are distributed and collaborations conducted? What does it mean to center "community-based" projects in professional and academic spaces when minoritized memory workers often don't have access to attend or participate? Ideally, participants can gain information on how to collaborate on and offline across organizational contexts to disrupt hegemonic binaries, support resource redistribution, and curate liberatory praxis.
