ACRL Training & Equity in Library Work Discussion Group
Charge
ACRL’s Training & Equity in Library Work Discussion Group is a forum to discuss, research, and envision the many pathways to satisfying and equitable library work. At the outset, the interest is multi-pronged: practices or programs for making the MLS/MLIS experience more accessible and authentic, particularly for underrepresented and marginalized populations; parallel pathways to (or alternative credentialing for) librarian positions; and increasing equity between library worker classifications (in terms of compensation, benefits, professional development funding, institutional and disciplinary power, & etc.).
