Abstract:
In support of RBMS’ efforts to encourage greater diversity in the Special Collection Library profession, members of the Diversity Committee have conducted recruitment events targeting local students and paraprofessionals just prior to ALA’s Midwinter meeting. A Toolkit, developed by the committee, is now available to help any member of RBMS conduct similar sessions at his or her own institution. This seminar will demonstrate use of the Toolkit, give examples of past presentations, and give advice on undertaking your own recruitment efforts.
