This four-person panel will discuss the ways in which some Canadian prisons influence the definition and role of “information,” and subsequently, information literacy. Drawing upon over a decade of intensive volunteer experience, panelists will engage with librarians’ roles within the context of carceral institutions, focusing on ethics, authority, and service.
