Transformative library and information work : profiles in social justice

Intended to be an accessible guide to transformational information work, the book collects approximately thirty brief case studies of information related organizations, initiatives, and/or projects that focus on social justice related activities.

Each case is a short narrative account of its particular subject's history, objectives, accomplishments, and challenges faced.

It also describes the material realities involved in the subjects' day-to-day operation.

Furthermore, cases include pertinent excerpts from interviews conducted with individuals directly involved with the information organization and will conclude with three-to-five bulleted takeaway points for information workers to consider when developing their own praxis
