Come discuss conference codes of conduct with officers from the Medical Library Association’s (MLA) Relevant Issues Section. Moderators are section Chair Rachel Walden (@rachel_w) and Chair-Elect Kate Flewelling (@flewkate).
You don't have to be an MLA or Relevant Issues Section member to join the discussion! Never participated in a hashtag chat or #medlibs chat before? Check out this overview and come on in, we are a supportive community and especially welcome students and newcomers.
What does an inclusive and welcoming conference look like?
Increasingly,
professional and tech conferences are adopting anti-harassment policies
and codes of conduct. The Relevant Issues Section of MLA would like to
explore having one for MLA meetings.
