It’s long been discussed in the literature that LibGuides come with a mighty double-edged sword: they’re easy enough to create that any librarian can do it. This leads to a proliferation of web content that is poorly maintained. Reasons for this come from a lethal combination of lack of time and lack of knowledge. James Henry Smith at Indiana University Libraries has worked in collaboration with various partners to create annual Summer LibGuides Challenges that addresses these reasons and more.

This session will explore how collaborations across the library can build ongoing support for often overlooked web content maintenance projects. 

Presenter:

James Henry Smith is the Discovery and User Experience Librarian at Indiana University Bloomington. There they work with a team of librarians and developers to design and maintain a host of digital resources including their institution’s online catalog, EBSCO Discovery Services, and Springhare products. Before this role, they worked as the Information Literacy Librarian for Online Learning at the same institution. James Henry completed their MLS from Indiana University Bloomington in 2022.

Library staff encounter challenging situations regularly. Sometimes these situations are exacerbated by people’s trauma histories. We don't usually know their stories, but we can approach our patrons and our colleagues with a person-centered, trauma-informed (PCTI) lens. PCTI was developed by the Jewish Federations of North America in their services with Holocaust survivors, but it is a lens that can be used by anyone with any population. 

In 2024-2025, Amanda Goldson worked with partners at Jewish Family Services of Charlotte to develop and present 6 training sessions about the PCTI principles to CML staff members. At the same time, Amanda put together a grant-funded, PCTI healing arts series for the public with local artists teaching a variety of media. In this webinar, Amanda will talk about the basics of PCTI and what was learned by adapting PCTI to library services and programs.  

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain the six principles of person-centered, trauma-informed practices. 
  • Apply the principles to specific public library examples. 

Presenter:

Amanda Goldson (she/her) is a librarian in Adult Services at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library. She has over 16 years of library experience in a variety of environments where she has been focused on programming, information literacy instruction, and management. One of her passions is mental health in libraries.
