New Annotated Bibliography from ACRL: The Kaleidoscopic Concern
From the Announcement:
The Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) announces the release of a new digital publication, “The Kaleidoscopic Concern” by Kaetrena D. Davis-Kendrick. This annotated bibliography on racial and ethnic diversity in librarianship focuses on new areas of study such as gender issues and white privilege with regard to racial minority and ethnic librarians. “The Kaleidoscopic Concern” is available on the ACRL Web site as a free digital download.
Covering issues, concerns, goals and strategies surrouding the recruitment, retention and advancement of librarians of color, the work annotates more than 80 years of the profession’s earliest training initiatives and current best practices. The bibliography traces 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 “The Kaleidoscopic Concern.”
