Paperback. Condition: New. This first Special Report in a two-volume set on Black and African Americans' experiences in libraries provides an overview of their historical exclusion from libraries and educational institutions in the United States, also exploring the ways in which this legacy is manifest in our contemporary context. A compelling call to action, it will serve as the beginning of many conversations in which librarianship reckons with its racist past to move towards a more equitable future.Still a predominantly white profession, librarianship has a legacy of racial discrimination, and it is essential that we face the ways that race impacts how we meet the needs of diverse user communities. Identifying and acknowledging implicit and learned bias is a necessary step toward transforming not only our professional practice but also our scholarship, assessment, and evaluation practices. From this Special Report, readers willlearn the hidden history of Africa's contributions to libraries and educational institutions, which are often omitted from K-12, higher education, and library school curricula;engage with the racist legacies of libraries as well as contemporary scholarship related to Black and African American users' experiences with libraries;be introduced to frameworks and theories that can help to identify and unpack the role of race in librarianship and in library users' experiences; andgarner practical takeaways to bring to their own views and practice of librarianship.

Paperback. Condition: New. Librarianship is still a predominantly white profession. It is essential that current practitioners as well as those about to enter the field take an unflinching look at the profession's legacy of racial discrimination, including the ways in which race might impact service to users such as students in school, public, and academic libraries. Given the prevalence of implicit and explicit bias against Black and African American people, authors Folk and Overbey argue that we must speak to these students directly to hear their stories and thereby understand their experiences. This Special Report shares the findings of a qualitative research study that explored the library experiences of Black and African American undergraduate students both before and during college, grounding it within an equity framework. From this Report readers will learn details about the study, which focused on the potential role of race in the students' interactions with library staff, including white staff and staff of color;gain insight into Black and African American users' perceptions of libraries and library staff, attitudes towards reading, frequency of library usage, and the importance of family;understand the implications of the study's findings for our practice and for librarianship more broadly, including our ongoing commitment to diversifying the profession; andwalk away with recommendations that can be applied to every library and educational context, such as guidance for developing an antiracist organization and more equitable service provision.
