The new journal entitled Library Diversity and Residency Studies (LDRS) is actively seeking applications for its inaugural editorial team. Founded as part of the 2018 Library Diversity Institutes project funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, LDRS provides a public forum for the following:
- Peer-reviewed articles examining specific questions concerning library diversity programs, with a special emphasis on diversity residency programs (see below)
- Invited contributions about specific residency programs; such contributions may include:
- Summary information on the nature, purposes, and best practices associated with library diversity residencies
- Curricular materials which seek to better prepare diversity residents for their residency experiences
- Reports, opinion pieces and narratives from residents about their experiences and reflections
- Other submissions on a broad variety of topics which inform and provide guidance concerning diversity and equity programs in library settings
