You are invited to celebrate the Indiana’s Librarians Leading in Diversity (ILLID) program as a part of Indy PL’s Center for Black Literature & Culture (CBLC) 5th Anniversary!
Established in 2008 with funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services by the Indiana State Library and (then) Indiana University School of Library and Information Science, the ILLID program supported the recruitment and education of 31 fellows representing underrepresented communities in library and information science with the goal of increasing diversity in Indiana’s libraries. Now, approximately 10 years since the final cohort completed graduate studies, we are celebrating the work of the program coordinator, Marcia Smith-Woodard, ILLID fellows, and all who supported the project.
The celebration event will feature:
- Panel discussion with ILLID fellow leader and fellows, moderated by, Dr. Nicole Cooke, Augusta Baker Endowed Chair, School of Information Science University of South Carolina
- Premier of video highlighting ILLID and fellows
- Recognition of fellows
- Keynote talk, Let this Radicalize You: Re-Envisioning LIS from Dr. Nicole Cooke, begins at 3 PM
- Call to Action for next iteration of ILLID and fellowship time
