NDLA EDI Discussion Series

The NDLA EDI Discussion series addresses topics of interest to all libraries from an EDI lens. We provide a space for sharing ideas, asking questions, and learning from each other. Discussions take place quarterly and each have a recommended resource or two to explore beforehand.

See our Previous EDI Discussions for notes and resources gathered during previous sessions.

NDLA Water Cooler Chat: Inclusive Workplace Strategies

August 19, 1:00 PM CST | Zoom

NDLA’s EDI Committee is partnering with the Professional Development Committee to host this month’s water cooler chat! Water Cooler Chats are informal sessions to spark conversation, share ideas, and network with fellow ND librarians.

Come chat with us about ways you're making your workplace a more inclusive and equitable space, whether that’s through policies and procedures, individual professional development, hiring practices, or other strategies.

To prepare for this discussion we recommended checking out the following resources:

• Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Antiracism Toolkit by the Oregon Library Association
  
• How to Ensure You Embed EDI When Advertising a Job Role by Sheffield Hallam University
