Abstract
Following on their introduction to the People of Color in Library & Information Science (POC in LIS) Summit during the virtual showcase portion of last year's SCELCapalooza, Summit organizers return this year in person for a deeper dive into the background, context, and lasting impacts from the POCinLIS Summit 2023.
This talk will center the experiences of four Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) academic librarians who conceived, planned, and executed the one-day POCinLIS Summit for BIPOC information workers in 2018 and 2023, and an online version in 2021. As a counterspace unaffiliated with a professional organization or traditional LIS conference spaces, the POCin LIS Summit sought to amplify and bolster BIPOC siloed in their work while supporting a network of POC information workers for future collaborations and self-care practices.
See the POCinLIS Summit website for more information about the summit mission and past iterations.
