Here's the latest edition of CD&I's resource round-up! As always, if you have resources that fall under the diversity and inclusion umbrella you feel might be helpful or interesting for the ILA membership, please feel free to send them my way and I will work with the committee to share them out as appropriate. The ILA Committee for Diversity & Inclusion’s charge includes promoting awareness of issues relating to diversity and inclusion to the greater ILA membership. While we know we can’t be comprehensive, we will do our best to collect timely resources on library-related issues and share those approximately once per month.
Sincerely,
Cara B. Stone
Chair, ILA Committee for Diversity & Inclusion
