September 2017 409 C&RL News

Welcome to the September 2017 issue of C&RL 
News. In light of the current political and social 
climate, many libraries and librarians are re-
newing their commitment to core professional 
values such as diversity and inclusion. At Port-
land State University, librarians are an integral 
part of teams working to support a culturally 
responsive and inclusive curriculum. Kimberly 
Pendell and Robert Schroeder write about the 
project in “Librarians as campus partners.”

In this month’s Internet Resources column, 
Jennifer Kaari provides an overview of digital 
collections and primary sources focused on 
“Social activism in the United States.” While the 
list is by no means comprehensive, it provides 
an excellent starting point for information on 
several social justice topics.

The start of the new academic year means 
a return to library and campus-wide meetings.  
Kate Dohe and Erin Pappas share ways in which 
lessons from improv comedy can inform affir-
mative collaborations in their article “The many 
flavors of ‘yes,’ ” and Mark Bieraugel of Cal Poly 
discusses his use of Liberating Structures to help 
attendees “Never be bored at a meeting again!”

In this issue’s Scholarly Communication 
column, Devin Soper reflects “On passing an 
open access policy at Florida State University,”  
providing a roadmap for other libraries begin-
ning a similar process, while Douglas Black of 
Middlebury College writes about his experiences 
as “An accidental datahound” in this month’s 
The Way I See It essay.

The University of Illinois-Chicago Library 
recently underwent a reorganization, creating a 
new technical services collection management 
unit. Gwen M. Gregory writes about the project 
in her article “For the duration.”

This month we look back at the 2017 ALA 
Annual Conference in Chicago with our annual 
roundup of ACRL programs and Board of Direc-
tors actions. Many thanks to all the reporters 
who volunteered to write program summaries.

Make sure to check out the other features 
and departments this month, including the 
call for nominations for ACRL’s 2018 awards 
program and a look at the September issue 
of College & Research Libraries from editor 
Wendi Kaspar.
