The American Library Association's (ALA) Diversity Counts report shows that less than one percent of credentialed librarians are African American males. Spawned by Julius Jefferson's 2008 ALA program on African American male librarians, this program discloses the results of a recent study that explored which factors lead African American males to choose to pursue a graduate degree in library and information science (LIS) and practice LIS as a career.
Panelists will discuss why they became a librarian, share career goals, and reveal their own triumphs and challenges in LIS.
Panelists:
Damon Campbell, University of Tennessee-Knoxville
Jon E. Cawthorne, San Diego State University
James B. Jones, Atlanta-Fulton County Public Library
Moderator:

Kaetrena D. Davis-Kendrick
Location: Hilton Chicago - Conference Room D
Please make plans to attend this informative and engaging program and discussion during the American Library Association's Annual Conference this July!
