Original DLN gone but not too far!
Hello Everyone,
By now many of you have found out that the original Diversity Librarians' Network (DLN) is no more. We were sorry that we could not continue our original efforts but our careers and our lives have taken us on new paths. However, we are still very much a part of the effort to support and increase diversity in librarianship. This blog will still allow us to post information, news and positions of interest and also to share information on other efforts similar to the DLN that you can become involved in.
We hope you will be able to continue to join and support us in our efforts!
Sincerely,
The DLN Directors (Jayati, Kawanna, and Maud)
