The Coretta Scott King Book Awards Archives & History Committee: ALAIR Access & Services presentation will cover the basics of the American Library Association Archives and the American Library Association Institutional Repository (ALAIR). It will provide a demonstration of how to search and locate materials, and how to deposit items. To create some user participation in a pre-recorded session, searches will utilize suggestions submitted before the conference or, if no suggestions are submitted, suggestions provided by CSK. The presentation will conclude with an overview of the benefits of using ALAIR and services provided by the ALA Archives. If any questions are submitted beforehand or prepared for by CSK, the presenter will then address those questions.

Learning Objectives:

Retrieve digital materials from ALAIR
submit materials to ALAIR.
