50 years ago, the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court
decision catalyzed the integration of schools. However, Wheeler
provides compelling evidence that few, if any Library and
Information Science programs were ever integrated. With an
impressive cast of contributors that includes experienced faculty
as well as students, this resource tackles the issue of diversity
from three distinct perspectives: external and environmental
forces, student recruitment, and faculty/curriculum issues. The
contributors discuss all of the spokes on the wheel of LIS
Education, from racial issues in the financial aid process, to the
impact of technology in LIS students of color, from the recruitment
of minority students to faculty development. Beyond showing where
LIS programs have fallen short, the contributors to this volume
serve to reinvigorate the discourse regarding the future.
