Centering Indigenous Knowledge: Building a Community-Driven Classification System for the TLAM Collection. Please join us for a webinar with Cassy Leeport, Lin Migiziikwe Gokee, and Anastasia Hanson. This webinar explores the collaborative development of a unique classification system designed specifically for the Tribal Libraries, Archives, and Museums (TLAM) collection at the University of Wisconsin–Madison’s CDIS Commons Library. Moving beyond conventional systems such as Library of Congress classification, this project centers Indigenous knowledge systems, relationships, and community priorities. Presenters will discuss the motivations behind the initiative, the collaborative design process, and the challenges and possibilities of reshaping description and access to reflect Indigenous worldviews.
Hello Colleagues,
A lot has changed in the digital landscape since 2022. As distance and online learning continue to evolve at breakneck speed, the need for a collaborative community is greater than ever.
We are officially "rebooting" the Distance & Online Learning Interest Group, and we’d love for you to help us dust off the cobwebs. We’re starting with a blank slate and a fresh pot of coffee (virtual or otherwise). This isn't just another meeting; it’s a chance to reshape how we support each other and our students in this "new normal." At our first meeting, we will:
Define our Vision: What do we want to achieve this year?
Collaborate: Share the biggest challenges we’ve faced during our hiatus.
Connect: Meet new faces and reconnect with old ones.
Join the Mid-Level Leadership IG for a monthly informal discussion or presentation about a variety of leadership topics. Spring 2026 meetings will take place by Zoom on the second Thursday of every month, 1-2 pm (February 12, March 12, April 9, May 14, June 11). more info...
