#LibrariesResist Resource List
** Please visit our new page, #LibrariesResist. The information below will not be updated as of February 28, 2017. **
---------------------- Original Resource List -------------------------
Building a curated list of resources for libraries and library workers in the resistance. Because if Park Rangers can do it, so can we. Work in progress.
This resource is for everyone, and is targeted at information management professionals (librarians, archivists, records managers, curators, etc.). How do we help communities made (more) vulnerable by the new administration?
Please share with your networks, give feedback, and keep resisting policies, laws and trends that impact the free, unbiased and accessible sharing of all types of information.
