Diversity and inclusion: Online resources for education

摘要

Academic librarians across the United States anecdotally report an increased interest in diversity and inclusion topics that is likely driven by several factors. As a field, we continue to wrestle with diversity recruitment, retention, and promotion. Consequently, colleagues openly discuss their desire for quality resources for self and organizational education on diversity and inclusion topics. At many of our respective institutions, the administrative leadership is articulating the need for increasing international student recruitment and cross-curricular globalization/internationalization offerings. As a result, many academic librarians are actively re-examining course-related instructional resources, collection development strategies, and programmatic offerings in an effort to proactively address shifting institutional priorities.
