We are thrilled to introduce the international EBLIP community to the city of Philadelphia, USA and invite all to gather at Drexel University for the occasion of the ninth biennial conference:
9th International Evidence Based Library and Information Practice Conference
June, 18 – 21 2017.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Philadelphia is a major U.S. city rich in history, easy to travel to and within, and with diverse interests, attractions and culture. It is the second largest medical and education center (60+ institutions of higher education) in the United States and home to Drexel University, the country’s 14th largest private institution. The University has a long tradition of practical training, civic engagement and academic technology leadership – and was ranked second by U.S. News & World Report as an up-and-coming U.S. university.
As the co-chairs of the EBLIP9 conference Local Organizing Committee, we wish to join the discussion of reactions to the executive order that limits entry into the United States for travelers from seven countries. Our comments are primarily directed to those with concerns about attending the EBLIP9 conference in Philadelphia.
We understand the moral dilemma some people face and their need to take action to express their frustration with the travel ban. We believe that abstaining from attending this academic conference ultimately limits opportunities for the free exchange of ideas and global professional networking. The importance of joining together and engaging in critical discussions about evidence-based practices for librarians and others around the world today cannot be stressed enough.
Last year, we were proud that our proposal was accepted to host this international gathering in the sanctuary city of Philadelphia and at our university, both long committed to diversity and inclusion. Although concerned about the impact of the executive order, we will continue to diligently organize a robust on-site conference to provide a safe and open venue for the free exchange of ideas and scholarly research. We welcome delegates from all parts of the world to Philadelphia – including people from the countries named in the executive order – and we urge members of the international library and Information science community to attend EBLIP9 this summer.
In regards to traveling to the conference, we will offer any assistance we can to help members of the international community attend the conference. We are continuing to explore ways to host some virtual sessions so researchers can attend remotely, and more information will be announced over the coming weeks. In the meantime, please contact us at EBLIP9@drexel.edu with questions or concerns.
