Diversity, Social Justice, and the Future of Libraries
Morales, Myrna; Knowles, Em Claire; Bourg, Chris
portal: Libraries and the Academy, v14 n3 p439-451 Jul 2014
In this essay, we embrace a vision of the future of academic libraries where librarians confront and creatively address the lack of racial and ethnic diversity within our profession and actively pursue a social justice agenda within our libraries and in the communities we serve. This future requires that we acknowledge that many of our current practices reinforce existing structures of inequity and privilege, and that we leverage our services and resources to support, document, and encourage diversity and social justice efforts within librarianship and society.
