Records, Information and Data: Exploring the Role of Record-Keeping in an Information Culture

Abstract

Reviews for a re-examination of all areas of our work is crucial. Critical Librarianship demonstrates a template for questioning our practices, identifying the problems, and moving toward a more just future. The major strength of this publication lies in its immediacy. The demands on information professionals in our current political climate are urgent. By examining our work within the context of critical theory, the authors suggest we might re-envision our labor and chart a new path for resistance. Drawing on pressing professional challenges and current news and events, The Politics of Theory and the Practice of Critical Librarianship motivates readers to apply action-oriented theory to their own work.
