Abstract: Competency gaps between working professionals and LIS educators persist for a variety of reasons. One primary reason is the growing multitude of knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to cover in curricula to prepare professionals in today’s information agencies. Across libraries, museums, archives, and others curating data and digital objects, the information professions strive to more closely mirror the communities, entities, and persons served with inclusive and anti-racist mindsets. Secondarily, more intentional change is needed to rethink curriculum from the inherited colonial settler science, theories, and methods. This panel addresses just some of the emerging facets and preexisting curricular foundations that require reexamination in the face of AI readiness, censorship, anti-human efforts, and other storms brewing at the dawn of a new age.
