The virtuous circle model of library and information science (LIS) education, in which increased elements of diversity and inclusion in LIS education would lead to increased elements of diversity and inclusion in the LIS profession, provides a useful foundation for ongoing actions. This article builds on that model to show examples of inclusion fostered by LIS professionals themselves. By revisiting the history of the American Library Association (ALA), the five ethnic caucuses of ALA, and the Society of American Archivists, we describe the roles that these associations play in fostering professional inclusion.

LIS协会在促进和维持包容性行业方面的活动

图书馆和信息科学（LIS）教育的良性循环模型，其中增加了LIS教育的多样性和包容性将导致增加了LIS行业的多样性和包容性的要素，为正在进行的行动提供了有用的基础。本文建立在该模型的基础上，以显示LIS专业人员自身培养的包容性示例。通过回顾美国图书馆协会（ALA），ALA的五个族群因果关系以及美国档案工作者协会的历史，我们描述了这些协会在促进专业包容性方面的作用。
