About This Title
This new edition of Celebrating Diversity: A Legacy of Minority Leadership in the American Association of Law Libraries builds upon the first edition by providing updated information and new insights into diversity in law librarianship. New and future leaders in AALL are identified and profiled, demonstrating the growth of diverse law library professionals in the field. New data gathered from a second survey of minority members is compared with data from a previous survey published in the first edition.
The profiles of minority librarians are arranged in four parts:
- Part I: Legacy of Leadership
- Part II: The Enduring Legacy: Leaders and Mentors
- Part III: Leaders of Today
- Part IV: Leaders of Tomorrow
Like the first one, this new edition furthers AALL’s core purpose and organizational values to advance the profession of law librarianship. Just as importantly, it contributes to the history of diversity in the profession by documenting the contributions of minority law librarians to AALL and law librarianship.
