ABSTRACT

A finding of the 2019 Australian Library and Information Association’s Workforce Diversity Trend Report was that the diversity of Australian communities has not translated to diversity in the library and information science professions. In the wake of this report, we reviewed how Australian library and information science job advertisements discuss and recruit for diversity in their organisations. Drawing from a sample of 208 job advertisements collected from 22 January to 22 February 2019 and 86 job advertisements collected during 22 January to 3 February 2018, and using qualitative and quantitative document analysis, we provide an analysis of how the wording in library and information science job advertisements can specifically invite application from diversity groups including people with a disability, LGBTIQA+, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, culturally and linguistically diverse groups, age, and by gender.

摘要

《 2019年澳大利亚图书馆和信息协会劳动力多样性趋势报告》的发现原因是澳大利亚社区的多样性尚未转化为图书馆和信息科学专业的多样性。在这份报告之后，我们回顾了澳大利亚图书馆和信息科学工作广告如何讨论和招募其组织中的多样性。通过对2019年1月22日至2月22日收集的208个招聘广告和2018年1月22日至2月3日收集的86个招聘广告进行抽样，并使用定性和定量文档分析，我们对图书馆和信息科学中的措辞进行了分析招聘广告可以特别邀请来自不同群体的申请，包括残疾人，LGBTIQA +，原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民，不同文化和语言的群体，年龄和性别。
