“Promoting Racial and Ethnic Diversity among Canadian Academic Librarians”

One of the issues that members of the CAPAL Steering Committee have discussed and the CAPAL membership-at-large have noted as important, is the issue of ethnic diversity in academic libraries and related matters pertaining to this topic in the work place. A survey undertaken by Mary Kandiuk, Senior Librarian at Scott Research and Collections, York University Libraries and a member of the CAPAL Steering Committee, is being published by ACRL. It will be released in July 2014. The study is available now as a preprint, Kandiuk-Preprint, see also this URL http://crl.acrl.org/content/early/2013/04/05/crl13-465.full.pdf+html
