“Moving Past the Deficit Model and Demonstrating Our Worth” Texas Library Association Annual Conference. Fort Worth, TX (via Skype).
Abstract: Our communities, be they an academy or a city, are not broken. Our communities are not passive users of services or consumers of reading. Our communities are our true collection. Their expertise, inventiveness, and experiences are a richer collection of knowledge than can be found in any set of stacks. Our operations and our advocacy must reflect community aspirations and dreams, not deficits and failings. This session will examine ideas and examples of aspiration advocacy and community-based services.

Audio: Presentation – https://davidlankes.org/rdlankes/pod/2013/TX-Deficit.mp3
- Question 1 – How can we get people to realize the library has services that they value and that we are not just collection?
- https://davidlankes.org/rdlankes/pod/2013/Q1.mp3
- Question 2 – In the examples of building social networks for community organizations, how can we do that with our current systems?
- https://davidlankes.org/rdlankes/pod/2013/Q2.mp3
- Question 2 – You talked about people building systems around them? Our catalogs can’t do that today, and I have questions everyday on how to use the catalog. What is available to have members build these systems and their networks?

“Success Through Collaboration” HELIN Annual Conference. Smithfield RI. (pre-recorded)
Abstract: If you want a future for libraries, it is within you, the librarians. If you want a healthy community that seeks out knowledge, and seeks informed conversation, then advocate for it beyond your walls. If you want your library to thrive, the community must thrive. To be a librarian is not to be neutral, or passive, or waiting for a question. It is to be a radical positive change agent within your community.

“What We Do and Why We Do It …But Mostly Why We Do It” New Zealand Atlas Reading Group. Web.
Abstract: You may never be a part of marching in the streets. I hope you never have to face a mob of looters, but you will be part of a revolution. Librarians are radical positive change agents in their community. In the academy, in schools, in the public, government, and business, librarians are storming the barricades of ignorance and fighting for knowledge and community improvement.
You cannot fight this fight from the safety of the stacks, nor behind the security of the reference desk. Librarianship has helped shape and guide the world for millennia, and now it is your turn to take up that charge.
