The Need for Diversity Research in the Profession: A Collaborative Opportunity

September 22, 2012 - 10:45am - 12:00pm
Westin Washington 1
Although diversity has been a priority in libraries for some time, the limited amount of diversity research in the profession has stymied progress. With this lack of research, successful efforts are rarely documented and there is limited understanding of the positive effects of diversity on organizations. This presentation addresses research gaps—and opportunities—and ways that research can inform decision-making and encourage investment in diversity in the profession and individual libraries.
