description: The anthology seeks to understand culture and its impact on information and knowledge in LIS (Library Information Science) and Education in general. Essays range in theme from Colonialism and Whiteness in Library Science to Representation in Graphic Novels and Literature, hopefully going beyond what has been written in the past. The essays in Librarians with Spines attempt to move Library and Information Science forward in the areas of culture, information, and education; but, this anthology also seeks to connect a diverse group of librarians and empower them to counteract the severe lack of minority publishers in the U.S. It is the explicit wishes of the publishers for Librarians with Spines to attract enough traction to make publication a yearly commitment for HINCHAS, and both Latino librarians want nothing more than to showcase the most radical and innovative forays into public service and community-minded library programming.
