The Kaleidoscope Concern: ACRL Digital Publication by Kaetrena D. Davis-Kendrick

Kaetrena D. Davis-Kendrick has recently digitally published an annotated bibliography on racial and ethnic diversity in librarianship through ACRL. From the ACRL site: "This annotated bibliography...includes new areas of study such as gender issues and white privilege with regard to racial minority and ethnic librarians. It covers the concerns, goals and strategies surrounding the recruitment, retention, and advancement of librarians of color and contains over 80 years of the profession’s earliest training initiatives and current best practices. Also traced in this bibliography is the evolution of the specific idea of affirmative action to the more nebulous concept of diversity in libraries. Books and book chapters, dissertations and theses, articles, poster sessions, presentations, reports from professional library associations and consortia, and multimedia objects are annotated in here."

The document can be downloaded from ACRL's Digitial Publications site.

Congratulations to Trena!
