Preventing Digital Discrimination: How Libraries & Their Allies Can Ensure Access and Equity For All

Описание: If these past two years have proved anything, it’s that having reliable access to the internet is a necessity. And yet access to the internet is far from assured in many homes across the country.

How do we define digital discrimination? How can we address it in all of its forms, from bias in search engine results to access to the internet in the first place?

This online panel discussion seeks to address these questions and more. Our speakers are Dr. Colin Rhinesmith, Founder and Director of the newly-established Digital Equity Research Center at Metropolitan New York Library Council, and Dr. Jon Gant, Dean and Professor, North Carolina Central University School of Library and Information Sciences. Davis Erin Anderson, METRO's Director of Programs and Partnerships moderates.
