Hampton University (William R. and Norma B. Harvey Library)

Hampton University will host a national forum to discuss recruitment and retention of minority library professionals in the Library and Information Science field. The forum will convene 30-40 librarians who are leaders and experts in library science, diversity, and leadership to address the continued issues of recruitment of minorities to the field. Through the forum and additional virtual meetings, participants will generate strategies for addressing issues in minority librarianship, including improving outreach efforts of libraries to recruit a more diverse workforce and improving the experiences of minorities currently in the field.
