Aimed at 13 to 18 year olds, the video introduces library and information science as an exciting and viable career. Supporting materials will include a user's guide for librarians and guidance counselors and a brochure for students recommending follow-up action they can take. A web-site run by high school students is in the planning stages. The video was produced by Ohio Library Council in cooperation with the State Library of Ohio, Kent State University School of Library and Information Science, and Ohio Educational Library Media Association, with funds from an LSCA grant. Five hundred copies have been distributed to Ohio public and school libraries at no cost.
Additional copies are available for purchase.
The University of Iowa Libraries incorporated diversity into it' s 1992 strategic initiatives in consort with the University's focus on creating a diverse student body, faculty, and staff. Now residents were able to be placed in one unit rather than rotating through several units, thereby increasing chances for more effective ongoing mentoring from senior staff. We are all diverse in many ways. It is the unique intersections of these characteristics that define each individual's diversity. We must recognize that not everyone faces the same consequences for their diversity.
