Greetings,
In
working to partially fulfill the ILA Committee for Diversity & Inclusion’s
charge of promoting awareness of issues relating to diversity and inclusion to
the greater ILA membership, here is our first email of 2018 featuring items
that may be of interest or value to those seeking to learn more about issues
surrounding diversity, inclusion, and social justice. While we know we can’t be
comprehensive, we do our best to collect timely resources on library-related
issues and share those every few weeks. If you have resources that fall under
the diversity and inclusion umbrella you feel might be helpful or interesting
for the ILA membership, please send them my way and I will work with the
committee to share them out as appropriate.
Sincerely,
Cara
B. Stone
Chair,
ILA Ad Hoc Committee for Diversity & Inclusion
