Sinossi

Academic librarians and archivists from the US and UK provide 16 chapters on the role of librarians in fostering reflective dialogue during a time of political polarization. They offer case studies, essays, and authoethnographies on the limits and possibilities of libraries as dialogic spaces and librarians as catalysts and participants in these spaces, first addressing the use of intergroup dialogue, dialogue-centered workshops for library workers, the complexities of libraries as dialogic spaces in the context of the 2017 Charlottesville riot and aftermath, and expressing gender identity and sexual orientation in library workplaces. They then discus the difficulties of promoting and engaging thoughtfully in dialogue in environments that are influenced by polarization, distrust, and extreme skepticism of information sources, with discussion of information literacy in the post-truth era, a syllabus for informed citizens, environmental issue advocacy in libraries, critical information literacy and critical media literacy, and the QAnon Storm conspiracy; the role of special collections and archives, including the use of special collections in information literacy; and the use of dialogue in the information literacy classroom, including teaching information and scientific literacy, the use of humorous political satire videos to help students engage with social issues, how information literacy education can counteract the negative effects of political rhetoric and discourse, encouraging students to develop critical consciousness, and the role of the Association of College and Research Libraries’ Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education.
