So What? Library and Information Science Podcast

To what extent are children’s picture books containing LGBTQ+ representations being included in the collections of Ontario public libraries? Jamie Orr sat down with Alyssa Duke, Melissa Martin, Danielle Betteridge, and Ashley Yeats-McKay, fellow MLIS grad students at FIMS, Western University, to talk about their research project which asks that exact question. This episode describes the nature of their research, some early findings, and their reflections on the implications of their work. A future episode will provide more detailed results from their research.
