Kayla Lockwood’s proposal for the Digital Health & Wellness Resources guide was recently accepted by the Canadian Association of Professional Academic Librarians (CAPAL) Conference Committee for this year’s annual conference. This year’s conference will be held online June 6-7, 2022, and will be free to attend for both members and non-members. This conference offers librarians and allied professionals across all disciplines an alternative space to share research and scholarship, challenge current thinking about professional issues, and forge new relationships.

This year’s CAPAL22: Libraries and Wellness Conference will contemplate if and how wellness might be integrated into academic librarianship and academic library service. The Digital Health & Wellness Resources guide will be presented in a lightning talk, discussing how it’s related to the topics:

• Awareness of how library resource guides can be used to promote digital mindfulness within a university or college.
• Awareness of app evaluation strategies that could be used to bring awareness to students and teach them how to evaluate apps on their own.
• Awareness of digital mindfulness apps with strong data privacy standards and clinical credibility.
• Identification of institutional partners that academic libraries can partner with to promote digital mindfulness and resources to students.
