One important strategy to help meet those needs is to reach out to underserved communities in recruitment and to learn how to be a more inclusive workplace to ensure that all employees feel able to reach their potential. [...] It is even harder to obtain statistics on the diversity of the academic programs that feed young talent into the industry as many of the colleges and universities do not track that data or if they do, they aggregate it for the entire institution and do not release per program data. [...] That sets up a situation where the junior staff are diverse while the management is not but until the company grows to the point that it can afford to retain the junior staff to grow into senior positions there are few other options. [...] Note that many of these ideas are related to project financing as it was recognized that access to funding is the biggest motivator for small and medium-sized enterprises: • Funding for networking events that bring together studios and diverse talent in a way that allows the studios to see the talent at work • Financial incentives to find and retain talent from underserved communities, provided th [...] On the other hand, interviews at another college were seen as a way for the co-ordinator to ensure that the program was the right fit and to see the student's potential when they might struggle with objective testing.

‘Til the White Day is Done is a line from the 1926 poem Dream Variations by Langston Hughes. White people are the world’s minority, yet white supremacy and racism are the scaffolding on which the American political and socioeconomic systems are built. This book was conceived by educator-activists JLove Calderon and Marcella Runell Hall in an effort to put action steps behind anti-racist rhetoric, in a move toward being truly and unapologetically pro-liberation--for everyone. You will find love letters written by some of the leading voices on contemporary issues of race and racism; over twenty lesson plans, ranging from the social construction of race, to the racialization of social media, to the prison industrial complex. This book is meant to catapult us to action, prompt dialogue, stimulate our minds and hearts, and provide educators with profound yet practical tools for creating social justice.

All too often, in a hurried attempt to “catch up,” diversity training can create division among staff or place undue burdens on a handful of employees. Instead, academic libraries need approaches to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) that position these priorities as ongoing institutional and professional goals. This book’s model programs will help academic libraries do exactly that, sharing a variety of initiatives that possess clear goals, demonstrable outcomes, and reproducible strategies. Librarians, administrators, and directors will all benefit from the programs detailed inside, which include such topics as a university library’s community of practice for interactions and learning around DEI; cultural competency training to create more welcoming instruction spaces; student workshops on literature searches that mitigate bias; overcoming the historic tendency to marginalize LGBTQ+ representation in archives; a curriculum and design workshop that moved from discussing social values to embedding them in actions; the founding of a library-led LGBT club for students at a rural community college; a liberal arts college’s retention-boosting program for first-generation students; tailoring a collection and library services to the unique needs of student veterans; and a framework for moving from diversity to equity and inclusion, toward a goal of social justice.

The National Academies Roundtable on Aligning Incentives for Open Science, established in 2019, has taken on an important role in addressing issues with open science. The roundtable convenes critical stakeholders to discuss the effectiveness of current incentives for adopting open science practices, current barriers of all types, and ways to move forward in order to align reward structures and institutional values. The Roundtable convened a virtual public workshop on fostering open science practices on November 5, 2020. The broad goal of the workshop was to identify paths to growing the nascent coalition of stakeholders committed to reenvisioning credit/reward systems (e.g., academic hiring, tenure and promotion, and grants)to fully incentivize open science practices. The workshop explored the information and resource needs of researchers, research institutions, government agencies, philanthropies, professional societies, and other stakeholders interested in further supporting and implementing open science practices. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussion of the workshop.
