    Posted Jun 08, 2021 11:10 AM
    Hi, all:
     
    The History Librarians Discussion Group will meet on Thursday, June 24 from 2:15-3:15 pm (Central time) during ALA Annual. 
     
    We will have breakout rooms for the following topics.  
    1. Addressing diversity in collections (making bibliographies, finding/filling gaps, using minority-owned vendors)
    2. Challenges of reference/instruction for research into histories of minority groups (language, scarcity of materials, etc.)
         
      All are welcome.  Please check the ALA Annual Scheduler closer to the meeting date for Zoom link information.
