The 2023 Library Association at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Conference will examine how we as stewards of information can facilitate the exchange of ideas and challenge ourselves and our colleagues to strengthen connections across library divisions and academic departments.
We look forward to welcoming our keynote speaker, Ericka Patillo (erickajpatillo.wordpress.com/about/), who received her MLIS (’99) and PhD of Philosophy, Information, and Library Science (’18) from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Currently Director of Graduate Studies at the School of Information Sciences at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Dr. Patillo is a librarian, public services manager, and educator working towards creating an academic culture that is inclusive, collaborative, and authentic. Her scholarship includes research on academic library management, and she recently presented at the American Library Association’s Roundtable Program on Research Matters: Strengthening our Values, Defining our Practice (2020). Dr. Patillo’s focus is on addressing internal divisions and creating experiences that facilitate transformative possibilities.
