Following this, Denise Agosto, a professor in the Department of Library and Information Science at Drexel University, will present on "Youth Services in Public Libraries Prioritizing Inequity and Privilege," and Nosik Park, director of Garam Library in Paju City, will present a case study on "Online Information Literacy Education Using Zepeto."
