Looking for names/reccs, please Boost. If you were at an event re #labor in libraries, archives, museums (LAM), who would you want to keynote?
(note: keynoters may connect us other communities, remind us of related work, etc. may not be LAM at all. may be scholars, activists, workers. LAM reccs are also appropriate)
If you're going to #DLFForum, community voting on session proposals is open. There are lots of proposals on labor, so I collected them here! https://gist.github.com/ruthtillman/f79d519bd5b4d5ba4d2af6feaea5ae2c
An easy way to find/vote for what you want to attend.
But scan the ENORMOUS list too, it's full of goodness! #DLF #librarylife #digitallibraries #digitalcollections #digitalhumanities #labor (but only vote if you're going, ok?)
