Ontario Library Association Conference

An online conference covering an interesting range of topics is the Ontario Library Association Conference, 1-5 February 2022. The conference covers different types of library, and does have some sessions related to information literacy including Come Together: Gathering 14 Academic Libraries to Collaboratively Build a Series of Open-licensed Information Literacy Modules for Health Sciences Students Across Ontario; and Algorithmic Literacy and the Role for Libraries and Sharing Is Caring: Building an Online Repository of Teaching & Learning Materials.
Many others looked intriguing e.g. “It’s a friggin' struggle to be honest:” Early Results from a Study of Librarian Workload During COVID-19 and Homeschoolers in the Library and A Year with Gnomes: Creating Joy and Sustaining Community Connection with One Quirky Craft Programme and A gathering of voices. A priced conference (n.b. there is a reduced, Canadian $50, fee for students/underemployed).
