Anti-Racism Resources

As institutional members of the American Library Association (ALA) and Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL), the Library stands with its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. From the ACRL's Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Guide:

ACRL is dedicated to creating diverse and inclusive communities in the Association and in academic and research libraries. This core commitment permeates the work of the Association, cutting across all ACRL sections, committees, interest and discussion groups, and communities of practice. The Association will acknowledge and address historical racial inequities; challenge oppressive systems within academic libraries; value different ways of knowing; and identify and work to eliminate barriers to equitable services, spaces, resources, and scholarship.

The Library offers this reading list committed to addressing systemic racism in our community. It primarily consists of books, but other resources are included on the Additional Resources page.
