Abstract

Academic libraries have for some time focused on the importance of achieving diversity within our organizations. However, the focus is shifting beyond efforts to increase the number of underrepresented groups in the workplace, to managing workplace diversity. The creation of Diversity Dialogue Groups presents libraries with a new model for increasing the understanding and acceptance of differences in the workplace.
