Session Description:
The ACRL Diversity Committee has been tasked with revising the ACRL Diversity Standards. The feedback gathered from a survey initiated in the summer of 2015 presented key issues currently missing from the standards. This webcast will discuss the implications of revising the Diversity Standards, share new and revised concepts and terminology, and have participants critically examine their own work institutions and its commitment to diversity, equity, and social justice.
