Psssst…the Word on the Street is Intellectual Freedom

August23

At our last meeting we banged out 200 buttons with slogans like I read banned books, There’s something in my library to offend everyone, and a bunch of anti-DRM slogans. Did you know that the BCLA has a button maker that you can use?  Well, now you do…

We will be at Word on the Street Sunday, September 30th with the Information Policy Committee to host our wheel of information issues. Last year the wheel was really successful, our booth was busy all day long. Perhaps people were excited about learning more about privacy issues and net neutrality. Perhaps they just enjoyed the satisfying clack-clack-clack that the wheel made. Perhaps it was the gummi candy.

Check out the planning wiki if you would like to get involved.

Your Comment:

I’m a librarian who doesn’t read many books. I like figuring out how things work, why they break, and how to make them work better. Thankfully I get to do this for work. I am the Systems and Technical Services Librarian at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, but the thoughts and opinions here are my own.

I’m not an artist, but I like to make things. I’m tinkering with Arduino. Hopefully soon I’ll be able to make some of the things I imagine.

I’m passionate about access to information, open source, intellectual freedom, and coffee.
