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.

The Samson Summer Student Program is an opportunity for students, who are continuing to go back to school in the fall, a chance to work during the summer time. Students have the opportunity to work with the business in their community, such as the Band Office, Community Initiatives, Maskwacis Cultural College, the Howard Buffalo Memorial Center (HBMC), the Friendship Center, Nipisikopahk Education Association, and many other business offered within the Program. This program has given students an income to help with their future for school and has given them an excellent amount of work experience that would look amazing on a resume. Plus, acquire a reference letter. The summer students of MCC show the multiple skills students learned working for the program.

Jacquie Samples
Head, Electronic Resources & Serials Cataloging
Duke University Libraries
Fritz Schwartz Scholarship 2000
Winning the Fritz Swartz Award gave me the
opportunity to further explore the world of serials
librarianship and helped me understand that pursuing
a career as a Serialist was the path that best suited
both my interests and skill set. Participating in NASIG
conferences and networking with other NASIG
members at various times has helped me remain
focused in my goal to make continuing resources of all
types discoverable and usable by library patrons.

Merle Steeves
Head of Cataloguing
University of New Brunswick Libraries
Horizon Award Winner 2001
I received the award while I was a Serials and
Electronic Resources Cataloguer at the University of
Chicago. After winning I served on the Electronic
Communications Committee of NASIG. This was a
great experience as it was my first time serving on a
committee for a library association. I believe my
experience with NASIG assisted me in reaching the
position where I am today. I'm most grateful to NASIG
as an organization for the award and the opportunity
to meet many great colleagues.

Shannon Regan
eJournal Preservation Librarian
Columbia University Libraries
Horizon Award Winner 2013
I am not sure I would have pursued attending NASIG if
I had not been fortunate enough to win the Horizon
Award. I am grateful I did because it introduced me to
this wonderful organization. I sincerely look forward
to the conference each year, for I know it will be a
great opportunity to gain new insights and knowledge,
but it is also a forum where I feel I have something
valuable to contribute to the conversation too.

Dana Belcher
Assistant Library Director
East Central University (OK)
Student Award Winner 1996
Winning the NASIG Student Award changed my life. I
was able to attend the Albuquerque conference and it
was there that I met two Oklahoma librarians that
help mold me into the librarian I am today. I made
lasting friendships that year with librarians from
around the United States, and their intellect and
expertise has guided me for the past 20 years.

Leslie Horner Button
Associate Director for Library Services
UMass Amherst Libraries
Horizon Award Winner 1995
Winning the NASIG Horizon Award was an important
touchstone. Looking back, I think it really jumped
started my career. It provided external validation for
the academic library specialization I chose and gave
me my first professional development opportunity. It
also gave me the confidence to pursue professional
advancement opportunities. I will be forever grateful
to NASIG!

Phil Homan
Instruction Librarian, Associate Professor
Idaho State University
Fritz Schwartz Scholarship 2001
NASIG fosters cooperation among all the players, not
only librarians, at all the stages of the academic
information cycle—from author to publisher to indexer
to librarian to researcher. Therefore, although I’m no
longer working in serials but am rather now an
instruction librarian, NASIG has helped me to help
students to understand and appreciate that cycle in
order to find, to evaluate, and to document all relevant
resources for their research projects.
7. Where Are They Now?
Rocki Strader
Authorities Librarian/ Cataloging Coordinator
Ohio State University Libraries
Horizon Award Winner 2004
The Horizon Award allowed me to attend my first
NASIG conference. It gave me a wonderful
opportunity to meet colleagues from across the
country and to put together names and faces.
Although currently I'm not directly involved with
serials and electronic resources, I do maintain my
NASIG membership so that I can keep up at least a
little bit with what's going on in those areas.

Jennifer Yeaple Mann
Medical Librarian
Massachusetts Department of Public Health
Student Award Winner 1994
As a solo librarian in medical librarianship, becoming
aware of the trends and future of serials while still in
graduate school at Simmons College has been a
foundation of my understanding of research and
scholarship in a constantly evolving field. I am very
grateful that I had the opportunity to attend the
conference at the University of British Columbia,
Vancouver. Thank you NASIG!
9. Where Are They Now?
Angela Riggio
Head of Scholarly Communication & Licensing
UCLA
Fritz Schwartz Scholarship 2002
I was, and still am honored to be the 2002 recipient of
the Fritz Schwartz Award. NASIG provided me with the
mentorship and guidance that I needed to make the
transition from library assistant to librarian. I have
participated in several NASIG conferences since, and
have always felt like part of the NASIG family.
Thank you, NASIG, and Happy Anniversary!

Jill Emery
Collection Development Librarian
Portland State University
Student Award Winner 1995
As a student grant winner of NASIG, I was introduced
to numerous folks who became mentors, life-long
colleagues, and good friends. The student grant
program is one of the strongest attributes of NASIG
and is extremely beneficial to early-career librarians
for the connections this program develops.

Sarah Vital
Business Librarian
Saint Mary's College of California
Fritz Schwartz Scholarship 2005
Working daily with business students, I never miss an
opportunity to stress the importance of professional
organizations, associations, and interest groups for
professional development, and always cite my
experience with NASIG as a prime example.

Kristen Wilson
Associate Head of Acquisitions and Discovery
North Carolina State University Libraries
Horizon Award Winner 2009
Receiving the Horizon Award was a great experience. I
was able to really enjoy the conference and focus on
meeting new people and absorbing the culture. NASIG
is such a welcoming group, it's a wonderful way to
start building a professional network.

Steve Oberg
Assistant Professor - Electronic Resources and Serials
Wheaton College (IL)
Student Award Winner 1991
I cannot overstate how pivotal this award was. It has
shaped my entire, 24+ year career in librarianship. I
made friends that first conference that remain good
friends to this day, and ever since, NASIG has been
close to my heart. It’s my professional “home” and
always will be.
14. Where Are They Now?
Ivey Glendon
Metadata Librarian
University of Virginia Library
Fritz Schwartz Scholarship 2010
Because of the scholarship, I was able to complete my
MLS degree and transition to my current position. At
the conference I was immediately warmly welcomed
by NASIG members and I remain in contact both
professionally and socially with other fellow NASIG
award recipients. My NASIG award has been a
foundational piece to both my education and my
career, and I’m grateful to NASIG for allowing me the
opportunity to be part of such a great community.
15. Where Are They Now?
Sarah Sutton
Assistant Professor – Library/Information Management
Emporia State University
Horizon Award Winner 2003
I felt so honored to have received the award and was
so welcomed to the organization that it has been my
professional “home” ever since. As I started to pursue
my PhD, I presented my dissertation research on core
competencies for e-resources librarians at NASIG
conferences. The organization’s interest in them was
flattering to say the least. Even now that I’ve moved
into a full-time teaching position, NASIG still feels like
home, a place to share my research and to continue
to, I hope, influence the professions of new librarians.
