- A1 - I actually had an opportunity to describe #critlib to a stranger last week: pic.twitter.com/4BEKqkiKDj
- @adammizelle Laying those problems bare for the students and others with a stake in this. Work together to respond. (2/2) #critlib
- @allanaaaaaaa Stranger here :) and I really appreciate it; I've been looking up #critlib reading lists
- A1. Loved this as an illustration of #critlib in practice. http://fusion.net/story/286753/library-of-congress-drops-illegal-alien-thanks-to-students …
- A1. Also this may be #critlib in practice. The FCC finally approves low-income subsidy for Broadband http://tnw.to/e4mrg via @TheNextWeb
- A1: to paraphrase @beastlibrarian Being critical of library practices to make the profession better is what it's all about. #critlib
- @QueryNLibrarian this. this is helping me wrap my head around #critlib thank you!
- This is happening now, #critlib! I have to run but look forward to catching up on the conversation later! https://twitter.com/courtums/status/717049123791323136 …
- Me too! #critlib for me =thinking structures & systems. As librarians, we actually do make & remake these every day! https://twitter.com/allanaaaaaaa/status/717052811461206017 …
- A2 Change looks different in all varying contexts of #critlib app; feeling change and seeing it might be different.. https://twitter.com/courtums/status/717052850422030336 …
- I contacted some conf. organizers & asked if we could get a student rate. They offered a student rate. #critlib https://twitter.com/courtums/status/717052850422030336 …
- One small #critlib-in-practice thing: I now do slides with Reveal.js, an html & Javascript framework instead of PPT. https://twitter.com/metageeky/status/717053066072068096 …
- Yes! listening is key to learning the strengths of our community too (libs often only focus on needs). #critlib https://twitter.com/thomthomthom/status/717051608899698688 …
- @adammizelle Change for me lately has been starting to read ppl I only just met on Twitter. #critlib
- More buzz for American University: http://sch.mp/0sdbdJ - RT @hsifnihplod Hello #critlib world! I am Ray, a reference librarian at Am...
- A3: Newcomers belong everywhere! When I was at SPARC, it was amazing how many #scholcomm felt weird about jumping into #critlib chats
- @abigailleigh Great q. I think both public & acad have opportunities to question status quo, look for concrete ways to help users. #critlib
- #critlib. Stumbled across this today: https://museumsandrace2016.wordpress.com/statement-of-purpose/ …
- @abigailleigh For public librarians, that striving to make active changes to address social justice issues may replace scholarship? #critlib
- #critlib Practitioners involved in LIS education can help hugely in doing this. A3 https://twitter.com/courtums/status/717055803333730305 …
- the gender identity (and sexual orientation) parts of LCC are also totally borked #critlib A2 https://twitter.com/glam_librarian/status/717055747285078016 …
- @glam_librarian #critlib It's the year of our lord 2016, why are we lumping drag queens in the same category as transgender people?
- A3 They simply belong; regardless of whether you've read every #critlib pub or have lived experience to share. https://twitter.com/courtums/status/717055384914145281 …
- +1 Critical Theory is not a given, nor is theory an essential part of #critlib. I'm pretty much a #tradeschoolgrad. https://twitter.com/ibeilin/status/717056273712345088 …
- #critlib #newcomers aren't newcomers but embedded librarians missing context. They already belong.
- @abigailleigh ... but I think both have a place in librarianship, we can learn from each other but only if we talk together, right? #critlib
- @edrabinski This matters. We need student rates for conferences and professional organization memberships always. #critlib
- YES!! I would have LOVED this in my MLIS program #critlib https://twitter.com/courtums/status/717055803333730305 …
- Yes! I didn't attend a conference until I had a full time job, and I felt way behind in engaging. #critlib @marygkosta @edrabinski
- @gonesquirrelly @courtums Is there anything in particular we could add to #critlib website? http://critlib.org/ What would be helpful?
- A2 #critlib And hiring accessibility. (I sometimes feel like we're only doing performative accessibility, at best) https://twitter.com/metageeky/status/717053066072068096 …
- Q4: I've seen the tag pop up in #libleadgender convo & with ppl I follow on twitter - today is my first real intro! #critlib
- @gonesquirrelly @courtums Maybe it’s time for another #critlib chat on the Wikipedia page on it http://critlib.org/wikipedia-article-for-critical-information-literacy/ …
- @violetbfox we need more talking and sharing together. Both academic and public. #critlib
- @metageeky the theory I like, and find most useful, tries to undermine any claim to absolute truth #critlib
- @diannelibrarian both feet Dianne! Both feet! #critlib
- Makes it hugely difficult for anyone exploring the concept to want to gengage. #critlib @metageeky
- A4: I think I found out about #critlib around when I went to the Gender+Sexuality in Info Studies Colloquium at UofT ... (cc @edrabinski)
- @tdg_coffee "doing all we can?" About what?#critlib
- A2) #critlib And purchasing accessibly. https://twitter.com/schomj/status/717058171441786881 …
- a4.1: i was lucky enough to attend the first unconference. been learning and trying to bring it ever since #critlib https://twitter.com/courtums/status/717057911571234817 …
- A4. Stumbled upon the hashtag just about a month ago. Been a librarian for 4 years and didn't know about #critlib! https://twitter.com/courtums/status/717057911571234817 …
- a4.2: my advice: don't be afraid to ask ?s and don't let the conversation end when you leave twitter! #critlib https://twitter.com/courtums/status/717057911571234817 …
- A4 Joined a chat after reading some #whyicritlib blogs.They're a great intro for people who are interested but intimidated #critlib
- @allanaaaaaaa public librarians may also have the most to risk, the fewest job protections #critlib
- @QueryNLibrarian YES! I'm helping write a code of conduct. I insist that it be readable without taking multi crit studies courses. #critlib
- Sadly too may silos in LIS. If #critlib is 4 all what about hospital libs, museums, school libs, yes even corp libs? https://twitter.com/allanaaaaaaa/status/717057477221621760 …
- @metageeky it's definitely a problem #critlib
- A3.1 But we're having to guess which terms are unfamiliar! Please look over what we've started & add more. #critlib https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yCZ9HUO1XulJ507HP32DB6Z8zd5AI8ydMnwLRcrmv6M/edit?usp=sharing …
- But there's a huge difference between being "welcome" and being "welcoming" #critlib https://twitter.com/ProudPoodleMom/status/717058374844551168 …
- @gonesquirrelly @QueryNLibrarian @edrabinski Fees often prohibitive for students/unemployed grads who must be able to participate. #critlib
- Discomfort is part of personal growth, always. #critlib https://twitter.com/adammizelle/status/717059515141791745 …
- @jillibrarian Very true. Our last chat talked about how we can take #critlib off Twitter for more reflection time and better (?) convos...
- @metageeky THAT is extremely fantastic and exciting. Vocabulary is a huge barrier for ppl new to the field and conversation. #critlib
- @jillibrarian Ideas included real life meetups, online reading groups with group annotations of articles. Other ideas welcome!! #critlib
- Yes, sometimes discomfort is the only way to acknowledge something isn't working and find ways to address #critlib https://twitter.com/adammizelle/status/717059515141791745 …
- @marygkosta @gonesquirrelly @edrabinski Yes-Twitter helps but there's a massive barrier 2 engaging w/ ppl who aren't in this space. #critlib
- @zhao_shirley The #critlib hashtag is relatively new, the first chat was April 2014--though of course these ideas have been around awhile!
- Agreed! Maybe some way to anonymously ask questions people may be too scared to ask? #critlib https://twitter.com/Shhh_Librarian/status/717060247106355200 …
- @brettdcurrier @jillibrarian That's great! It's not always possible, but I'm a big fan of real life conversations for tough topics. #critlib
- @EamonTewell's recent literature review, esp on IL and pedagogy, helped to give me a lot of perspective. #critlib https://twitter.com/courtums/status/717060493416996864 …
- Excellent #critlib advice for everybody https://twitter.com/adammizelle/status/717059515141791745 …

A5: @Willoughbrarian's Critical Theory: Some Basics! slide show is a great intro. https://www.haikudeck.com/critical-theory---some-basics-education-presentation-OSAXY6MvD2 … #critlib pic.twitter.com/k8uyWXubEP- @allanaaaaaaa @jillibrarian Love it!! #critlib belongs to this community: would love for #MLIS students to make it theirs too!!
- @tdg_coffee #critlib kinda wondered if it was the #neoliberalism impact...which I suspect it is anyways
- A5: Also working chapter by chapter on @edrabinski, @mariataccardi, and @alanakumbier's book. "Critical Library Instruction" #critlib

- @gonesquirrelly @marygkosta @edrabinski Love both of those ideas! Conversational connections certainly a foundation too-listservs? #critlib
- A5. UK and Ireland folk may wish to find their local @RadicalLibs. Much #critlib overlap. https://twitter.com/violetbfox/status/717060127258337281 …
- @adammizelle Why don't more PhD program talk about #critlib ? Faculty have so many opportunities.
