“[T]he diversity of perspectives presented within this
publication will build on the reader’s existing knowledge to
bring nuances and alternative approaches to these enduring,
seemingly intractable challenges within the LIS profession and
within society.” —from the Foreword by Mark A. Puente
Academic library workers often make use of systemic, bureaucratic,
political, collegial, and symbolic dimensions of organizational
behavior to achieve their diversity, equity, and inclusion goals,
but many are also doing the crucial work of pushing back at the
structures surrounding them in ways small and large.
Implementing Excellence in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
captures emerging practices that academic libraries and librarians
can use to create more equitable and representative institutions.
19 chapters are divided into 6 sections: Recruitment,
Retention and Promotion Professional Development Leveraging
Collegial Networks Reinforcing the Message Organizational Change
Assessment Chapters cover topics including active diversity
recruitment strategies; inclusive hiring; gendered ageism;
librarians with disabilities; diversity and inclusion with student
workers; residencies and retention; creating and implementing a
diversity strategic plan; cultural competency training;
libraries’ responses to Canadian Truth and Reconciliation
Commission Calls to Action; and accountability and assessment.
Authors provide practical guiding principles, effective practices,
and sample programs and training. Implementing
Excellence in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion explores how
academic libraries have leveraged and deployed their
institutions’ resources to effect DEI improvements while working
toward implementing systemic solutions. It provides means and
inspiration for continuing to try to hire, retain, and promote the
change we want to see in the world regardless of existing
structures and systems, and ways to improve those structures and
systems for the future.
