Join the Midcontinental Chapter of Medical Library Association’s (MCMLA) Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee as they give an update on what they have been working on this past year. The committee will be discussing the past Diversity survey and asking for input on future projects. So join us as we’d appreciate your feedback. We will provide a short training on key concepts used in understanding the role of power, identity and oppression in libraries. The presentation will wrap up with some resources to help you make your library more inclusive.
