📚 Two New Titles Available for Pre-Order in the ALISE Book Series

ALISE is pleased to announce two new additions to the ALISE Book Series, now available for pre-order.

✨ Decolonizing Library and Information Science Research Methodology by Jaya Raju explores transformative and critically reflexive approaches to LIS research. The book examines how dominant knowledge systems shape research and calls for approaches that center Indigenous and historically marginalized perspectives, experiences, and ways of knowing.

✨ Disabled and Neurodiverse Staff: Toward Inclusion in the Library and Information Science Workforce examines the experiences of disabled and neurodiverse professionals in libraries and information organizations while offering insight into building more inclusive, accessible, and supportive workplaces across the profession. Edited by Keren Dali and Kim M. Thompson

Together, these titles contribute to important conversations shaping the future of library and information science education, research, leadership, and practice.
