Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This collection of essays joins the growing body of diversity literature to offer a range of background material and practical information. In large part it draws from the experiences of the University of Michigan Library in recruiting a culturally diverse staff and in offering collections, services, and programs for diverse users. Two themes emerge: demographic trends have brought the nation to a multicultural reality, and therefore to cultivate diversity is to survive economically; also, the success of a diversity program depends on the commitment of the library's top administration. This book emanates from a leading library in the cultural diversity movement. It will be a useful purchase for administrators on all levels and for individuals and committees concerned with diversity issues.
