Webcast next Tuesday - Library Services and the Homeless: A Legal Perspective

I'm giving an Infopeople webcast next Tuesday on legal issues and homeless library users.  Special thanks go to John Gehner,  coordinator of the Hunger, Homelessness & Poverty Task Force, SRRT, ALA for all his help in preparing the webcast. He also just coauthored a useful article with Kali Freeman, Just a Little Understanding: A Social-Service Provider’s Perspective on Homeless Library Users, from a social service provider's perspective. The article is based on a discussion that the Progressive Librarians Guild student chapter at the College of St. Catherine (St. Paul, Minn.) convened with John Petroskas, a shelter and housing specialist.  The chapter also made a podcast of the event - worth listening to.

My upcoming webcast:
