Learn about the emerging movement in librarianship to engage those with intellectual disability (ID), who have previously been largely overlooked. Over two sessions, Leah Plocharczyk and Matthew Conner discuss two intertwined case studies in academic libraries. They unpack the lessons they learned and how to apply them in academic, public, and school libraries. In Part 2, Leah and Matt provide a framework for examining the issues that came out of their experience. They discuss the lifecycle of a DL-focused library program, including recruitment, instruction theory, specific activities, collection development, assessment, and more.
