Library Diversity Institutes

In collaboration with the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Diversity Alliance, UNC Greensboro will develop and deliver two institutes for incoming ACRL diversity residents to improve their chances of successfully finding and keeping a job and encourage professional networking. An ongoing open access publication entitled Journal of Library Diversity and Residency Studies will be established along with an associated webinar series to disseminate research and practical guidance for institutions seeking information on diversity and residency programs in library settings. Dr. Martin Halbert will serve as project Principal Investigator (PI) and overall project director. Gerald Holmes, Reference Librarian and Diversity Residency Coordinator, will serve as project Co-Principal Investigator (Co-PI).
