Overview

The ARL Diversity Programs recruit people from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups into careers in research libraries (the Initiative to Recruit a Diverse Workforce and the Career Enhancement Program) and prepare and advance minority librarians into leadership positions in ARL libraries (the Leadership and Career Development Program).

The annual Leadership Institute—a component of the ARL Diversity Programs—focuses on issues related to transitioning into, and building career networks in, research libraries.

The Diversity Programs also encompass ARL’s Career Resources: Job Announcements, LIS Graduate Student Résumé Database, and Research Library Residency Programs Database.
