Re-Branding Librarianship: Diversity Recruitment Practices from the Field

September 22, 2012 - 4:00pm - 5:15pm
Westin Washington 3
The Re-branding Librarianship panel presents four librarians from traditionally underrepresented groups all part of the Discovering Librarianship program, an initiative funded by the IMLS and led by ALA’s Office for Diversity. The panelists will share their experiences encouraging registration and use of the Knowledge Alliance website, which “re-brands” librarianship as a field of diverse individuals, and their work recruiting a diverse group of high school and college students to consider librarianship as a career option.
