About DOL DOL

The Division of Libraries aims to take meaningful steps to eradicate racial injustice, dismantle racism, and operationalize the Diversity & Inclusion Values of the Libraries.

We have to take actions that match our words, otherwise our words are empty;
We have to work to eradicate all structural and systemic oppression that exist at all levels in our academic disciplines.

In recognition of those goals, all Division of Libraries employees across the global sites, including faculty, staff, administration, and student workers, are invited to join your colleagues in a week long Days of Learning (DoL), Monday, June 14 - Friday, June 18, 2021. This DoL DoL provides time and space for each of us to engage more deeply with inclusion, diversity, belonging, equity, and accessibility in our lives and in our work. This DoL DoL is coordinated in partnership with the Core Instruction Team.
