Getting Together To Go Forward: The Lessons of Diversity Initiatives and How ...Louis Muñoz Jr.
Graduates from various library diversity initiatives will discuss their experiences and summarize their programs’ outcomes. Presenters and participants will then brainstorm and explore various strategies that their institutions can use to recruit, nurture, and retain more individuals from under-represented groups. At the conclusion of the program, participants will share their suggestions with the larger group. (These ideas will form the nucleus of a Wiki resource that librarians can use for furthering diversity efforts.)
Decolonising the academic library: opening the library doorsdecolonisingdmu
Kaye Towlson, De Montfort University
In a recent workforce mapping exercise sponsored by the Chartered Institute of Information professionals (CiLiP) less than 5% of the survey sample (4336) identified with a “non-white” ethnicity. The overwhelming whiteness of the library sector is well established. Decolonising DMU offered opportunities to address this issue. Experience of this has been positive for post incumbents and library staff.
At DMU our library staff profile reveals 17% identify as a person of colour. This figure fails to reflect the local demographic profile (57% Leicester City population is of a minoritised ethnicity) or the DMU student cohort, approximately 50% students of colour:50%white students.
Research shows a sense of belonging and connectedness with the institution will encourage help seeking and a diverse staff profile to be beneficial (NUS 2011). Although usage statistics reveal the LLS typical user to be a female of colour and more students of colour engage with learning support services, there is a social justice imperative to enable diversity and cultural representation within the library and information service workforce. Mindful of barriers to entering this sector the delivery of a Library Traineeship funded through Decolonising DMU and the uptake of institutional paid internships is offered as a slow burn path to decolonising libraries.
This session charts the development and delivery of a Library Trainee role within De Montfort university Library and Learning Services 2021 –2023. Opportunities afforded to and by the Library Trainee role will be noted and ways of maximising work opportunities through institutional paid internships will be discussed. The positive impact these roles have on the experience of staff within the institution and the role holders, the learning that flows from this approach are offered as a positive, although incremental way forward to making the academic library workforce more diverse.
This presentation was delivered at Reimagining Higher Education: journeys of decolonising at De Montfort University, Leicester, on Wednesday 8th November 2023.

Transitioning from an Academic Library to a Public LibraryAriel Hess
Switching from an academic library to a public library is a challenging transition due to the contrasting environments. The dynamics of the users in each entity are similar in the instance of the need for information but different in the request. There is a list of elements that I noticed during my transition from an academic library to a public library. I transition from a reference librarian position serving mostly adults to a youth services librarian position serving ages 0 to 18.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

1. Library Internships
with a Brooklyn Accent:
A Variety of Hosts,
a Diversity of Participants,
and Opportunities for Collaboration
Beth Evans

Brooklyn College of the City University of New York, CUNY
2. Abstract
Libraries in Brooklyn, New York may represent the perfect coming together of what the New York
Times has described as a profession for hipsters,1 in what the New York Observer has called the
hippest borough in NYC. 2 Not only is Brooklyn a hotbed for rising talent in the arts and music, but it
has provided a training ground for librarian-hopefuls and others considering working in a library.
One of the advantages for a library of being in the New York City metropolitan area is access to a
diverse population of potential interns, coming from library schools and from other sources. For
interns, the variety of possible library work sites in the City can’t be beat. Brooklyn libraries of all
types -- academic, public, special and school-- have welcomed interns into their organizations.
Internships have provided both an opportunity for those not in the profession to learn about the
work of libraries and for the hosts to benefit from the energy and creativity of newcomers who look
at libraries with fresh eyes and new ideas. Moreover, opportunities for collaboration abound in a
city where major cultural and educational institutions are a subway ride away. Discover some of
the library internship programs in New York City’s most populous borough. Listen as they speak to
you with a “Brooklyn accent.”
