Diversity Organizations

The library profession has a number of organizations focusing on diversity.  

Diversity Forum

The School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison kicked off its Centennial Year Celebration on February 10, 2006, with a forum on diversity and a reception honoring campus colleagues, area librarians and other friends. The forum shared information on career opportunities in the field of library and information studies, addressed diversity issues in librarianship, and education for librarianship. 

Diversity: Enhancing Our Learning Community included presentations by Rhea Lawson, Director of the Houston (Texas) Public Library and LeRoy LaFleur, reference/liaison librarian at George Mason University, Virginia; and Tracie Hall, head of the Office for Diversity, American Library Association, in Chicago. The program also introduced an undergraduate internship program which is a cooperative venture of the School of Library and Information Studies and the UW-Madison General Library System.
