At our August 2024 meeting, on the subject of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), several resources were shared both by presenters, and through the chat. Below is a summary with links of the resources discussed:
Backstage Library Works – An authority control tool with DEI Initiative Support.
The Kind Librarian – New book by Helen Rimmer discussed during the meeting, particularly Chapter 8: The art of kind recruitment, which details inclusive hiring practices.
Decolonisation Best Practice and Case Studies in HE Libraries – Google spreadsheet in which participants from UK HE libraries describe DEI initiatives in their institutions.
Lean In (What is Allyship? Allyship in Practice) – bite-sized Youtube videos on allyship.
10000 Interns Foundation – Organisation that provides paid internships for Black students and graduates across a range of UK industries.
