Session Description
Despite great effort from individuals on our staff, the racial diversity of the library’s employees has remained largely unchanged, mirroring the stagnant demographics of the profession. Over the last year, we’ve come to understand more about why we have failed and gained critical insight into how we might succeed in the future via a bolder approach that we are now advocating for, in our library and libraries across the US: by investing time and money in Post-Baccalaureate Diversity Recruitment Fellowships.
