BIPOC librarians and retention: Mentorship and supportive relationships in the workplace

Abstract

Academic Library Workers in Conversation is a bimonthly C&RL News series focused on elevating the everyday conversations of library professionals. The wisdom of the watercooler has long been heralded, but this series hopes to go further by minimizing barriers to traditional publishing with an accessible format. Each of the topics in the series were proposed by the authors and they were given space to explore. We encourage you to follow and share these conversations about transforming libraries with ideas from the front lines. This issue’s conversation with Annmarie Magurany and Elizabeth Dill focuses on mentoring and supporting BIPOC library workers.—Dustin Fife, series editor
