Simmons Progressive Librarians Guild

The Simmons chapter of the Progressive Librarians Guild is a student organization committed to inscribing the struggle for social justice at the center of the library profession. We believe that cataloging, indexing, acquisitions policy and collection development, reference services, library automation, library management, and virtually every other library issue embody political value choices. We aim to make these choices explicit, and to carry out our professional responsibilities in a way that helps to realize a freer, more democratic world.

The Simmons chapter of PLG is proudly affiliated with the Progressive Librarians Guild.

[edit] Upcoming Events

Spring 2010's first meeting of the PLG will be Wednesday, February 17th from 6:30-8 PM in the GSLIS lounge. This is a joint meeting between the PLG and the Boston Radical Reference Collective! This will be a great opportunity to learn about and get involved in the activities of both groups.

We want to hear your ideas and your skills!

About the Boston Radical Reference Collective: Radical Reference is a collective of volunteer library workers who believe in social justice and equality. We support activist communities, progressive organizations, and independent journalists by providing professional research support, education and access to information. We work in a collaborative virtual setting and are dedicated to information activism to foster a more egalitarian society.(source)
