[Metadatalibrarians] Collective Responsibility project team seeks comment on deliverables

[Ruth Kitchin Tillman]

>From 2018-2020, the Institute of Museum and Library Services-funded
Collective Responsibility project (LG-73-18-0236-18) designed and led two
meetings bringing together contingent workers, funder representatives, and
LAM management to create guidelines and best practices for grant-funded
positions. The project team seeks community review and feedback on two
resource documents drafted by attendees of Forum 2: Practices and the
Collective Responsibility project team.

Document 1, Recommendations to Funders: Promoting Equitable Approaches to
Project Staff Design provides granting organizations with concrete
application guidelines that signal the critical importance of equitable and
supportive labor conditions for contingent workers in grant projects:

Document 2, Evaluating Project Design for Worker Equity, informs the
processes of grant writing and reviewing. This one-page document is
intended to empower those who want to support better positions in the field
but are unsure where to start:

We will be seeking feedback and comment from January 24, 2020 through
February 14th, 2020. We welcome public comment on the documents or private
emails to the PIs at: rkt6 at psu.edu and rodriguezsan at umkc.edu

In solidarity,

Ruth Tillman and Sandy Rodriguez, PIs
