Overview

Since the mid 1980s academic libraries have established minority residency programs in an effort to increase the representation of librarians of color in their institutions. Now more than a decade later, these programs continue to be developed. Essays written by librarians of color who participated in residency programs, and administrators whose institutions made the programs possible, remind us of the continuing need for diversity in academic libraries.

Synopsis

Provides personal narratives of participants of library minority residency programs, which are a viable recruitment strategy for diversity in academic libraries.
