2017 ALA Diversity & Outreach Fair

Saturday, June 24
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Location: McCormick Place, Exhibit Floor-Special Events Area
 

The annual Diversity and Outreach Fair celebrates library services, programs and collections to underserved and under-represented communities. Visit with program leaders, learn details and strategies for success, and consider how they might be repeated in your library community. Enjoy the festive atmosphere while networking and learning about these important programs! Sponsored by DEMCO, Inc. 

During this year's Fair, Dr. Nicole A. Cooke, Spectrum Doctoral Fellow and assistant professor and MS/LIS program director at the iSchoolat Illinois, will be honored with the 2017 American Library Association (ALA) Achievement in Library Diversity Research. The Diversity Research Grants Advisory Committee, a subcommittee of the Office for Diversity, Literacy and Outreach Services Advisory Committee, are pleased to recognize her for her contributions to the profession and her promotion of diversity within it. Achievement is defined as a body of work or a groundbreaking piece whose dissemination advances our understanding of or sparks new research in the areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The Office for Diversity, Literacy and Outreach Services began designating this honor in 2004.

The Jean E. Coleman lecture series honors Dr. Jean E. Coleman, the first director of the ALA Office for Literacy and Outreach Services (now the Office for Diversity, Literacy, and Outreach Services) for her leadership in focusing the Association's attention on issues affecting traditionally underserved and underrepresented people in libraries. 

This year's lecture will be presented by Janice Rice, retired Outreach Coordinator at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries. Rice retired from the University of Wisconsin following a distinguished 36-year career and a long record of commitment to improving diversity issues in the University of Wisconsin General Library System and the library profession through active participation in the Wisconsin Library Association, the Association of College & Research Libraries, the ALA Ethnic and Multicultural Information Exchange Round Table and the American Indian Library Association. For her efforts, Rice has received several awards, including the UW-Madison and UW-System Outstanding Woman of Color in Education Award in 2009 and the Distinguished Service Award from the American Indian Library Association in 2012.

**The Town Hall Meeting will be in lieu of an in-person ODLOS Advisory Committee Meeting**

Location: GWCC B203

This past year has been extraordinarily hard on communities of color and marginalized identities. Numerous shootings, sexual assaults, attacks in the legislation against the rights of GLBT communities and an election that continues to challenge our identity as a country. As librarians, we continue to advocate and fight for the communities we serve, but we need to recognize how our personal identities impact our work and our profession. This town hall was proposed as an opportunity to come together and start some healing within our organization. We will review the progress of initiatives within the Office for Diversity, Literacy and Outreach Services and across the association, then we want to hear from you. The Office for Diversity, Literacy and Outreach Services invites everyone to join us in this space to reflect together.
