Social Work in Libraries Symposium (SWiL2022) is a free, online international symposium bringing together academics, professionals and students in the disciplines of social work and librarianship to share information and research about supporting social justice through bringing social workers into the increasingly community-centred environments of all types of libraries.
Participants will hear from international and Australian speakers who have on-the-ground experience working in this environment as well as researchers and postgraduate students. Presenters will discuss their research and practice and provide opportunities for discussion, questions, and contributions that will inform a successful framework for embedding social workers and social work knowledge within libraries.
SWiL2022 will be presented live online from 9:00 – 16:30 on December 1, 2022 (AEDT). There is no registration fee, and a recorded collection of presentations will be made available to registered participants.
Anne-Maree Pfabe, Manager City of Melbourne Libraries, and social worker Leanne Mitchell are among the presenters on the program. You’ll find the full program here.
