From long20 at uillinois.edu Mon Jan 10 14:47:15 2022 From: long20 at uillinois.edu (Swanson, Nicole Marie) Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2022 14:47:15 +0000 Subject: [spcollig] PDA Event: Working with Fire Professionals on January 25, 2:00 p.m. Message-ID: The CARLI Preservation Committee is pleased to invite you to join a Professional Development (PDA) webinar "Working with Fire Professionals" presented by Chief John High of the Illinois Fire Service Institute (IFSI) on January 25, 2:00-3:00 p.m. Central. This program, described fully below, will look at identifying fire hazards, how to prevent them, and how the fire department will respond to the call. This program supports the CARLI Preservation Committee's efforts to share information throughout 2021-2022 regarding preparing for and responding to Disasters & Emergencies. "Working with Fire Professionals" is an introduction to what fire departments do with a special look at Fire Prevention activities. The first step in fighting a fire is to prevent the fire from ever occurring. Firefighters face a variety of hazards as they battle a burning building besides the heat and smoke. There are collapses of ceilings and walls, holes burned through the floors and live electrical and gas lines. When a fire occurs, the results are often devastating to a family or business. Many items are not replaceable and for a business to be closed due to a fire can be a permanent closure. People do not always understand how everyday items can help start a fire and how fast a fire can develop. This program will look at identifying fire hazards, how to prevent them, and how the fire department will respond to the call. The fire service goal is to protect life and property. Chief John High, Sr. serves as the Illinois Fire Service Institute (IFSI) Fire Investigation and Fire Prevention Training program manager. John is responsible for scheduling classes, cultivating new instructors and assuring the program continues to meet all state and national training standards. John also oversees an expansion of the prevention component as part of IFSI outreach. John joined IFSI field staff in 2003. He has been affiliated since 1994 with the Lynch Fire Protection District and currently serves as a Trustee. He retired from that department as Assistant Chief. Concurrently, John served on the Danville Fire Department beginning in 1978 and retiring in 2012 as Assistant Chief. John is a member of the International Association of Arson Investigators and the National Fire Protection Association. He attended Parkland College and earned an Associate's Degree in Fire Science. John holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Fire Management from the Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. The Illinois Fire Service Institute is the statutory State Fire Academy for Illinois. In addition to training provided at its Champaign campus, the Institute offers one-day hands-on classes for fire departments at Regional Training Centers and local fire stations across the State. The mission of the Illinois Fire Service Institute is to help firefighters do their work through training, education, information and research. Please register for this event.

(via Megan Fitzgibbons, Concordia University in Montr?al?) Proposals are now being accepted for the 20th Library Research Forum at Concordia University (Montr?al?, Canada). This year's Research Forum will again be held virtually, in the afternoon of April 26 and 27 (Tuesday and Wednesday). The annual Research Forum provides an opportunity for librarians, archivists, graduate students, teaching faculty, and information professionals to describe and promote their completed or in-progress research, practical case studies or projects. The Forum also provides a venue for researchers to seek suggestions for enhancing their research interests, to identify potential new partners for projects, to test the effectiveness of their undertakings, and to promote research in academic libraries. Registration is free. This year's plenary session will be a conversation with David James Hudson, an award-winning writer, a library and information studies scholar, and an associate librarian at University of Guelph. David's creative and scholarly work is primarily concerned with race, racism, and anti-racism, especially with the ways in which these phenomena have come to be conceptualized (both historically and in the present day) and the interests such conceptualizations have served. He explores such questions with particular attention to contexts of library and information work, Black diasporic life, colonialism, and capitalism. His writing has appeared in such publications as up//root*, Journal of Critical Library and Information Studies, Journal of Information Ethics, and the edited collections Topographies of Whiteness and Information Ethics and Global Citizenship. Information about these and other works can be found at his website, https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.davidjameshudson.ca__;!!DZ3fjg!r05KL3Xh7eRhru9CShZ_50OLO5zovW9PlR2vOBtXqnHyDg_PW7UpWuqV_n06_kIP9fC-a9I$ .
