    You are invited to submit a proposal for possible inclusion in a necessary and exciting book focused on the best academic library practices, programs, and services that support Hispanic students. "Supporting Your Hispanic Students in Academic Libraries" (working title). Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) are federally designated colleges and universities with over 25% of their undergraduate full-time students identifying as Hispanic. As of 2017, there were over 500 such institutions. But this is only part of the picture, as there are many more institutions of higher education with large Latinx populations that do not have this designation including community colleges, research-centered institutions, trade colleges, tribal colleges. As this vital group of college students grows, our book seeks to bring attention to the important and exciting work being done in the libraries of these institutions and to serve as a guide for library staff who are searching for new programs and fresh ways of reaching their Hispanic students. The book is slated to be published through Library Juice press in May of 2022 and will be part of their Series on Critical Race Studies and Multiculturalism in LIS.
