Brush Off the Dust: Hands-on Weeding Your Hawaiʻi Collection
Thursday August 7, 2025 9:40am - 10:55am HST
Do you have old, possibly rare Hawaiian materials you’re not sure what to do with? Brush off the dust and bring a few for us to review together. University of Hawaiʻi Librarians will guide participants through the process of reviewing materials for signs of being out of date, culturally inaccurate, and determining what to do with weeded materials. Participants are encouraged to bring five titles that you are not sure what to do with. You may bring a list or pictures of the titles if you prefer. Walk away with an action plan for what to do with the rest of your collection.

Bridging the Gap: Strengthening K-12 and Academic Library Partnerships for Student Success LIMITED
Thursday August 7, 2025 12:35pm - 1:50pm HST
Last year, we began a discussion about ways to connect academic and school libraries in a more coordinated effort to equip K-12 students with essential research skills and information literacy foundations that support lifelong learning. Since then, we've taken action. A new working group of school and academic librarians is actively collaborating to reach young students statewide, including those in schools without librarians. We also conducted a survey of school and academic librarians to identify the most critical skills students need, the gaps that hinder their readiness for higher education, and opportunities to build a seamless K-20 pipeline of support.

Join us as we share our progress, discuss emerging ideas, and invite you to help shape our next steps. Through interactive discussion, we’ll explore ways to strengthen collaboration between school and academic librarians to ensure students are prepared for the complex information landscapes of both higher education and life beyond the classroom. Let’s work together and turn these insights into meaningful action.
