RESOURCE: Disorientation Guide to Librarianship

Violet B. Fox (World Intellectual Property Organization) has published the Disorientation Guide to Librarianship on her website. The zine is:

a compilation zine created by 23 contributors and published in October 2021. The zine is designed to be an accessible resource for people who are unfamiliar with structural oppression and injustice in librarianship. It is intended to be a critique of library values and a guide for people fighting injustice in librarianship. The target audience is LIS students and those new to librarianship, with or without degrees, but all are welcome to the conversation.

The book is essential reading for digital scholarship and decolonial digital humanities practices.
