Diversity in a Flash: A Lightning Showcase of Residency Diversity Initiativessespinosalib
An American Library Association 2015 Annual Conference presentation sponsored by the Ethnic Multicultural Information Exchange Round Table and the Residency Interest Group.
Diversity Residency Programs provide professional opportunities to recent MLS graduates from underrepresented communities in librarianship. Residents have spearheaded innovative approaches to support the diversity mission of the institution and library through internal and external initiatives. Hear from current and previous residents who have developed outreach initiatives and diversity programming highlighting ethnicity and multiculturalism at four academic libraries as they share recommendations for developing, implementing, and sustaining similar projects at other institutions. Outreach and programs include developing relationships with diversity departments and local communities, holding events to celebrate diverse cultures and ethnicities, and looking internally at institutional resources to support diversity.
