About us                  

Our mission:

The aims of the Diversity Group are to unite those members of CILIP engaged in or interested in issues of diversity as they affect the library and information community, to foster communication between such members, to facilitate exchange of experience and the promotion of work relevant to those interests in order to promote and support library and information services to diversity and excluded communities.

"Diversity" covers issues of race, religion, culture, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, age, disability - and other factors that result in discrimination and inequality.

The Diversity Group also produces 2 to 3 newsletters a year, and we organise the Diversity Awards which are awarded every two years. We run workshops in Umbrella, the CILIP conference, and have a conference every two years. This year’s Diversity Group conference has the themes of race and class and will be on Monday 14th June 2010 at CILIP, London.

Here are our rules.
