As the third installment of the CLIR Collaborative Writing Project, this year we introduce The Curated Futures Project as the first of a series of collaborations which respond to the theme “A Third Library is Possible.” The Curated Futures Project serves as a guide for GLAM professionals to navigate beyond discussions of decolonizing our institutions to begin taking practical steps to enact change. These collaborative projects not only speculate about aligning academic libraries with social impact, but they also provide demonstrative examples in a variety of mediums including podcast conversations, gamifying digital humanities, and mapping visualizations.
