Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Dr. Josey and Ms. DeLoach wrote in their Introduction to the second editionof The Handbook of Black Librarianship: “In designing the second edition of The Handbook of Black Librarianship, the editors felt that this work should be a reference tool related to the various aspects of African Americans in librarianship and their work in libraries.” That first edition covered issues faced by black library professionals in the various fields of librarianship; organizations formed; black library collections and books; resources and other areas of progress. The second edition, published twenty-three years later, highlighted more current events in Black librarianship: early and contemporary library organizations, vital issues, African American resources, discussions on and about librarianship, a focus on health librarianship, and information resources and education. It has now been another twenty-two years since the last edition and time to reflect on “various aspects of African Americans” in our profession as well as the advancements over the past two and a half decades and to review those issues African Americans still face and how modern technological advancements have impacted our profession and the lives of Black librarians. This third edition’s coverage includes: Pioneers and Landmark Episodes A Chronology of Events in Black Librarianship African American Forerunners in Librarianship Modern Day Black Library Organizations Vital Issues in Black Librarianship Library Service to Our Communities Library Technology and Black Librarianship Pearls from Our Retirees Issues in Diversity, Inclusion and Multiculturalism African Library Resources and Education Banned Books Significant Books and Periodicals for Black Collections

Download or read book E. J. Josey written by Renate L. Chancellor and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-02-07 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work provides a comprehensive examination of the life and professional career of E.J Josey within the broader historical and political landscape of the civil rights movement. In the era of Jim Crow, Josey rose to prominence in the library profession by challenging the American Library Association (ALA) to live up to its creed of equality for all. This was not easy during the 1950s and 1960s, during segregation. Using interviews with Josey and his contemporaries, as well as several archival sources, library educator Renate Chancellor analyzes Josey’s leadership, particularly within modern day racial currents. During his professional career, spanning over fifty years (1952-2002), Josey worked as a librarian (1953-1966), an administrator of library services (1966-1986), and as a professor of library science (1986-1995). He also served as President of the American Library Association and perhaps his most notable achievement, he successfully drafted a resolution that prevented state library associations from discriminating against African American librarians. This essentially ended segregation in the ALA. Josey’s transformative leadership provides a model to tackle today’s civil rights challenges both in and outside the library profession. This authoritative work copublished by the Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE) documents for the historical record a significant period of history that is underexplored in the scholarly literature. The target audience for this book are researchers, historians, LIS educators and students interested in understanding the complex struggle for civil and human rights in professional organizations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As librarians enhance their commitment to the ideals of multicultural service & their recognition of the rich diversity of U. S. society, the single largest obstacle to realizing this commitment is the profession's failure to recruit & train a diversified work force." Kathleen de la Pena McCook Stop Talking & Start Doing! Recruiting Minorities to the Library Profession is a practical guide to finding, nurturing, & retaining a diversified workforce for libraries that reflects & attracts the communities they serve. Minorities now make up around 26% of the U.S. population & by 2000 are expected to make up one third. However, the library profession is not keeping pace with these changes. The profession has, for the most part, failed to attract new members from the very populations that can benefit most from library services: people who are younger, non-white, & from a variety of ethnic & social backgrounds. The number of minorities entering or already working in the library profession is minute compared to the populations served by libraries. Minorities, including African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, & Asians make up only 10% of new LIS graduates. The total number of minority librarians working in academic & public libraries is less than 12%.It has become imperative to recruit a diverse workforce for the library profession. Authors Reese & Hawkins provide clear & workable solutions to attracting new faces to add diversity to the profession. The authors provide practical ways to attract, recruit, & mentor minorities to the library, including: Marketing strategies geared to the tastes & perspectives of minorities & young people Practical methods for mentoring minorities Guidelines on the role of library schools in minority recruitment Gregory L. Reese is one of a handful of African American Directors of public libraries in the United States. He is the Director of the East Cleveland Public Library. He was the 1998 president of the Black Caucus of the American Library Association. Mr. Reese regularly gives presentations to library professionals on recruiting & retaining young people & minorities. In 1996 he was named one of the "Seven Most Powerful Black Men in America" by Ebony Man. Ernestine Hawkins is the Deputy Director of the East Cleveland Public Library. She was the first President of the Cleveland Area African American Library Association & is currently serving on several national committees of the American Library Association.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unstorically, African American librarians have faced the same discrimination as other African American professionals: lack of respect; placement only in African American communities; failure to receive promotions to administrative positions, especially those requiring supervision of Caucasian counterparts; and failure to recognize contributions to the organization and the profession. African American Librarians in the Far West includes biographies of twenty-two librarians who practiced in the western United States and Hawaii and contributed to the advancement of African Americans in the profession, the library, the general community, and the field of library and information science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this update of the ideal introduction to the library profession, the core competencies of professional librarians are presented in 14 essays supplemented with foundational principles and context. The original edition of this book gained popularity as a required work for LIS because it uniquely provided a broad, accessible overview of the core curricular areas and foundations for the library profession. What distinguishes the book as an introduction to the work of professional librarians is that it's not just about information in context or about libraries and their mission. Importantly, it also covers the required competencies of professional librarians, laying a firm foundation for future courses. In this second edition, each chapter has been revised and updated to take into account current thinking and references. As with the first edition, the book is organized around the foundations of the profession and key functional areas. Questions such as how to think like a librarian and how to facilitate community development are specifically and explicitly addressed. In compiling the book, the editors sought out the leading thinkers, educators, and practitioners in each core area as chapter authors. Each of the contributors provides an introduction to the knowledge, skills, and abilities associated with their respective area of expertise, discusses current and emerging applications, and explores trends and issues.
