Lydia and I were the only people who expressed interest in  FedEx Day. That means we have been given the go-ahead to  explore our ideas around diversity and library services. We want to start by asking  what does diversity mean, and what can the library do to support diversity initiatives on campus?  We’ve been doing some work in this area, and I’ve started doing some research. UC has a statement on Equity and Diversity ,  but the American Library Association recognises  a wider range of target groups for services including

• those who may experience language or literacy-related barriers
• cultural or social isolation
• religious background
• economic distress

It has really got us thinking! So if you want to come along on FedEx Day and work towards making a positive impact in the library and on campus, let Brian know by the end of this week (Friday 27 Sept).
