This left many Oregon State University students in legal limbo, impacting their success as students as well as their ability to pay for college. The Department of Homeland Security, especially the small department Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), ballooned in influence with the new administration. Trump had made anti-immigration a cornerstone of his campaign and that did not slow down once he took office. Undocumented students were now staring down new legal and financial challenges that were well outside their (and university) control. The university needed to respond quickly to changes in immigration policy, aid students who were struggling, and have one central location for advisors and students to find resources. \u0000The Oregon State University (OSU) library got involved in the university's effort to help DACA and undocumented students. At the time, relevant resources were siloed across campus, so it was difficult for students to know what resources were available. Even advisors couldn't navigate the various systems. For example, on the OSU website, the Admissions page and Student Legal Services page both had relevant information, but they didn't refer back to one another. To help resolve this problem, the library offered to gather the resources distributed across campus for undocumented and DACA students. \u0000After the resources were collected, I was approached by one of the librarians on the project to develop a more permanent technical solution. I'm a website developer for the OSU Valley Library. Just like most smaller libraries, the Valley Library relies on third-party vendors for many services; however, my department also creates custom web solutions for the library. Because this project required special privacy and security provisions for this vulnerable student population, the library opted for a custom solution.","PeriodicalId":298209,"journal":{"name":"OLA Quarterly","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126885430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the many hypocrisies the group took issue with was: \u0000the proliferation of anti-racism statements put out by information institutions and organizations in 2020 without also taking on actions addressing the lack of Black, Indigenous, or People of Color workers or how the BIPOC within those very libraries and organizations have been ostracised and disrespected for years prior to 2020, while allowing the mistreatment to continue. (WOC+Lib, 2021) \u0000In the midst of the international uprisings for racial justice following the murder of George Floyd, many libraries put out antiracist statements affirming their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Yet in a recent survey of library directors, only 31 percent of academic library directors agreed that their “library has well-developed equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility strategies for employees\" (Frederick and Wolff-Eisenberg, 2021, p. 10). The lack of progress made in these areas suggests that while diversity may be a library value, dismantling systems of oppression to improve DEI is not a top priority at most institutions.","PeriodicalId":298209,"journal":{"name":"OLA Quarterly","volume":"187 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131695459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Beginning in March 2020, however, the potential for unwanted sharing of student information exploded. Most schools without existing 1-to-1 technology programs, where every student is assigned a digital device, scrambled to hand out laptops, Chromebooks, or iPads to students. Schools also tried out and adopted digital teaching tools such as Google Classroom, Canvas, Clever, Pear Deck, Flipgrid, Edpuzzle, Screencastify, Explain Everything, Kahoot!, GoNoodle, and many others. The COVID-19 pandemic pushed many schools fully online. Now, with schools back to in-person learning, school activities still often depend on the use of these digital devices and tools. \u0000School administrators must consider the digital rights of these students and families as they choose resources. It's also important for parents, teachers, school librarians, and the broader community to know the types of data that schools and their third-party vendors collect, and what they can do to better protect that data.","PeriodicalId":298209,"journal":{"name":"OLA Quarterly","volume":"482 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116522748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
