<br>
Aubrey R. Watzek Library at Lewis & Clark College is pleased to announce the 22nd Johannah Sherrer Memorial Lecture in Library Service, to be held as a hybrid event on Friday, September 23 at 3pm. </font><font face="Arial" color="black"><b> "Challenging Bias
through Algorithmic Literacy" </b></font><font face="Arial" color="black">will be presented by </font><font face="Arial" color="black"><b>Carolyn Caffrey</b></font><font face="Arial" color="black">, Associate Librarian and Information Literacy Coordinator
at California State University, Dominguez Hills. </font><font color="black"><br>

</font><font face="Arial" color="black"><i> </i></font><font face="Arial" size="+1" color="black"><i>Algorithms play an influential role in how information is filtered, mediated, and recommended in an online environment; yet their outsized role is often unaddressed
in current media literacy and information literacy practices. As Virginia Eubanks so aptly phrases, algorithms can “automate inequality” by hardwiring racial and gender bias into the artificial intelligence frameworks that shape our lives. This talk will discuss
definitional considerations for algorithmic literacy and how we, as non-coders, can mitigate bias and push for more transparent algorithms. The presenter will also share practical examples for educators and library professionals to incorporate algorithmic
literacy into their own practice.</i></font><font face="Arial" color="black"><i> </i></font><font color="black"><br>

We hope you are able to attend, and perhaps join us at Lewis & Clark for the live event. A reception will follow the on-campus lecture. <br>
