libraries are all political projects that librarians undertake inside 
institutions that operate under capitalist, patriarchal, and racist 
power structures that many of us aim to contest. How do we do this in

March 25, 2015 (time 9-3pm, tentative) on the campus of Portland State 
University (15 min away from the main ACRL location) as we discuss and

actions that can transform ourselves, our work, our profession, and our 
world. </span></p><br><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline">For more details about the unconference and to register, please check out our website </span><a href="http://critlib2015.weebly.com/" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline">http://critlib2015.weebly.com/</span></a><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline"> or email </span><a href="mailto:critlibuncon@gmail.com" style="text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(17,85,204);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:underline;vertical-align:baseline">critlibuncon@gmail.com</span></a><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(65,81,97);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline">.</span><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div>"Nothing is more impotent than an unread library." John Waters</div></div>
