ALISE 2016 has ended
The ALISE 2016 Conference theme of “Radical Change: Inclusion and Innovation” celebrates the far reaching impact of Eliza T. Dresang’s work. The conference welcomes contributions that explore inclusive practices and innovative strategies in teaching and research, with special interest for Cultural Diversity, Digital Societies, Intellectual Freedom, Social Justice and International Resources.

Our logo for the conference is the metamorphosis of a caterpillar to a butterfly. This is a great symbol of radical change and transformation. Although the caterpillar and the butterfly exist in the same environment, each has its own perception and understanding of the world. As the caterpillar prepares for transformation, it must build the chrysalis, which acts as protection and change agent. When the radical change is completed, the butterfly emerges from the chrysalis into a new world, one of amazing potential and opportunity. The radical transformation and change allows the caterpillar to move beyond its small environment as a beautiful butterfly excited and ready to see and learn about its brave new world.

From 1970-1972 GSLIS welcomed twenty-eight students of color known as The Carnegie Scholars. A program to increase the numbers of minority librarians, the program denoted a radical change, for the better, at the school; it is a radical change we need to see again going forward. LIS programs need to think critically about the recruitment and retention of students of color. Investigation of the Carnegie Scholars Program, and other historical initiatives, could facilitate a new radical change in LIS education.
