Are you attending upcoming American Library Association conferences or meetings? Don't miss the diversity-focused programs and events sponsored by the ALA Office For Diversity.
The Diversity Librarians' Network, developed by the University of Tennessee Libraries' Minority Resident Librarians, brings together diversity librarians from library residency, fellowship, and internship programs (as well as interested faculty, students, and human resources professionals) into a forum for sharing ideas and networking. The intention is to create a resource that will serve as a single point of reference for all library professionals interested in diversity. Of particular note are the sections on internship, residency, and fellowship programs, scholarships and awards, and calendars of diversity events and training opportunities.
In November, 2004, the New Jersey State Library sponsored a one-day conference, One Community New Jersey: Diversity in Libraries. Besides conference materials, handouts, and links to sponsors, this site includes a must-see set of resource guides on staffing, organizational climate, services, and collections. While some of the links are relevant primarily to New Jersey libraries, most are of great interest to all who are involved in library diversity work.
The American Library Association's Office for Diversity consults, facilitates, and trains on diversity issues. Its web pages include links to a broad range of resources.
