Abstract:In this article, we seek to seed an honest conversation about how librarianship needs to meaningfully address systems of structural oppression in order to actualize diversity and inclusion initiatives at large. We will investigate issues of recruitment, retention, education, and mentorship within the library and information science profession through the lens of our experiences as women of color, and as early-career librarians; we will also weave relevant insights reflected from within the literature to support our narratives. Central to this work is an understanding of the barriers that people of color (POC) face in our workplaces and the profession at large; we will discuss this at length throughout. Finally, we will conclude with recommendations on how the profession, as a whole, can do better at retaining and supporting its marginalized workforce. This is a call to action for librarians at every level to hold themselves accountable for the ways in which they are complicit within systems of oppression and inequality. Concurrently, this article aims to generate momentum in coalition building as a tool for POC attempting to navigate the overwhelming whiteness evident within the profession.

我们在这里:说出真相

摘要:在本文中,我们力求开展一场诚实的对话,讨论图书馆管理如何有效地解决结构性压迫制度,以实现多样性和包容性倡议。我们将通过我们作为有色女性和职业生涯初期的图书馆员的经验的视角,调查图书馆和信息科学专业内部的招聘,保留,教育和指导问题。我们还将编织从文献中反映出的相关见解,以支持我们的叙述。这项工作的核心是了解有色人种(POC)在我们的工作场所和整个职业中面临的障碍;我们将在全文中详细讨论。最后,我们将对整个职业如何提出建议。可以在保留和支持其边缘化劳动力方面做得更好。这是呼吁各级图书馆员采取行动,使他们对自己在压迫和不平等制度中的同谋负责。同时,本文旨在激发联盟建设的势头,作为POC尝试解决该行业内明显的白度问题的工具。
