Registration is open for the upcoming NNLM webinar “Reproductive Health and the Reference Desk: How libraries can provide information in a post-Roe country”. It will take place on Tuesday, July 18, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM CDT.
It has been over 1 year since the U.S. Supreme Court repealed Roe v. Wade. Abortion is now illegal in a significant portion of the country. What does this mean for information access? This webinar will discuss reproductive health as an information access concern, introduce the Reproductive Justice framework, and offer ideas for how libraries can provide create environments that are supportive of sexual and reproductive health information.
