Spring CRD Journal Club

This Spring, the College & Research Division of the Pennsylvania Library Association is sponsoring a virtual journal club, which holds a series of online meetings to discuss scholarship in the library science field. The CRD Journal Club was originally established in Summer 2018, and typically runs in the summer, spring, and fall of each year. The theme for the Spring 2022 series is inclusive libraries.

The CRD Journal Club will meet on the third Thursday of the month from 2:00-3:00 pm. Meeting dates are February 17, March 17, and April 21. For our first meeting, we will discuss “From mutual awareness to collaboration: Academic libraries and autism support programs” by Amelia Anderson, published in the Journal of Librarianship and Information Science in 2020.

While our first article is focused on academic libraries and the journal club is sponsored by CRD, journal club is open to people who work at all types of libraries across the Commonwealth. You do not have to attend all three meetings; you are welcome to attend any number of meetings.  If you are interested in participating in journal club this Spring and have not yet signed up, please email one of the members of the planning team, Melissa Correll, Alexander Kirby, or Rebecca Thompson.
