Libraries and museums don't just preserve history. Clint Fluker, Emory's inaugural senior director of culture, community, and engagement for the Carlos Museum and Emory Libraries, wants them to highlight new ideas and create space for important conversations. With exhibitions celebrating 50 years of hip-hop and the groundbreaking work of Black comic book artists, Emory is changing how communities interact with and think about museums and libraries.

Audio from the 2022 Charleston Conference from a Session titled "Instructional Design and the Library: Joining forces to create engaging and inclusive online courses” Instructional design is an exciting field that can help create inclusive, accessible and engaging learning experiences for library patrons. While this work presents challenges, expertise is continually growing in this increasingly evidence-based field. As learning communities become increasingly digitized, librarians have an opportunity to become increasingly connected to instructional design teams within their own institutions. But what do librarians need to know about instructional design so that they can best benefit from what it has to offer? And how can they influence how online course resources are designed so they better meet patrons' needs? This session brings together a Library Engagement Manager, a Librarian, and an Instructional Designer to explore three aspects of instructional design: ●     The application of the “universal design” framework for Learning to ensure online resources can engage a broad range of learners, whatever their ability ●     The challenges and opportunities of creating asynchronous online course resources; and ●     Learnings and lessons from online course development This session was presented by Rachel Crookes, Associate Director, SAGE Campus, Kaneisha Gaston, Library Engagement Manager, SAGE, Sarah Morris, head of instruction and engagement, Emory Libraries, Emory University, and Emma Slayton, Data Curation, Visualization, and GIS Specialist, Carnegie Mellon University Libraries.

Noted Emory professors Joseph Crespino (History) and Natasha Trethewey (English/Creative Writing) along with moderator Kevin Young (English/Creative Writing) explore how history, poetry, and a "historical imagination" help illuminate our understanding about ourselves and our times. "Neil Asks" is a nonprofit founded to continue the legacy of L. Neil Williams Jr., 1936-2012. Neil worked effectively and enthusiastically to further the continuing importance of the arts, higher education, religion, the law, and business. He was known for his insightful questions, which guided groups toward greater understanding, innovation, service and hope. Emory University - particularly Emory Libraries - benefited greatly from Neil's generosity. A native of Charlotte, Neil joined The Duke Endowment's Board in 1977 and served as chair from 2011 to 2012. In addition, served as Chair of the Vasser Woolley Foundation and Trustee of the Halle Foundation, both based in Atlanta. After earning a law degree at Duke School of Law, he spent (most of) his professional career at Alston & Bird in Atlanta.

The panel discussion on September 7, 2013, was part of the kick off event of Emory Libraries 2013-2014 “Race and Sports in American Culture Series” (RASACS).

Digital humanities pioneer and noted historian of the South, Ed Ayers, discusses the value of digital scholarship in his own work and the work of colleagues at the digital scholars lab at University of Richmond. Digital scholarship, Ayers argues, is a transformative pedagogical tool insofar as it gives us a glimpse of time and space in a dynamic, enriching manner. This talk marked the opening of the Emory Libraries research commons in the Robert W. Library.
