<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This webinar examines the current landscape of attacks on intellectual freedom and the impacts of coordinated censorship campaigns. We'll analyze the role of moral entrepreneurs, including
organized advocacy groups and bad faith social media influencers. We'll explore the historical context of how moral panics operate to limit access to reading materials and confine intellectual freedom. Understanding this history helps us respond more effectively
in today’s environment. The webinar covers legal threats facing libraries, including new state laws in Idaho, Missouri, Louisiana, and other states.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Library staff are often on the front lines of community need, navigating stressful situations that can take a real toll on their well-being. Jenny Meslener, George Mason University,
highlights recent data showing that PTSD and trauma-related stress are more common among library workers than many might realize. This session will open up space to talk about these realities, share research, and highlight practical steps toward creating trauma-informed
workplaces. Together, we’ll explore strategies, resources, and approaches that support healing, resilience, and a culture of care for staff as well as the communities they serve.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As materials created by AI continue to flood the marketplace, it is inevitable that acquisitions librarians will encounter materials generated wholly or partially by AI. Libraries
can prepare for this reality with selection guidelines and collection development policies that intentionally address AI generated materials. A team of librarians from the Salt Lake County Library will share the process they used and the insights they acquired
while updating their collection development policy and selection guidelines to include materials created by AI.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Giving effective and direct feedback to each other is essential for success, both individually and organizationally. But doing so goes against our cognitive wiring. We want to be liked,
we avoid conflict, and we don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings. The result is that we confuse indirectness for kindness. In this webinar, best-selling author and Stanford Business School lecturer David Dodson will discuss a six-part formula for how to rewire
our brains to create a positive and open culture of direct feedback. David will provide practical and actionable steps you can take the next day to break down the barriers to reaching your potential and get you on the path to success.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
