This might be of interest to our Jewish theological library colleagues in all denominations. Please take a look! It would be fabulous if there could be some contribution from a Jewish denominational library.
My best, Michelle ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: "Trott, Garrett" <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Aug 7, 2020 at 3:46 PM Subject: [collib-l] contribute to Theological Librarianship's Diversity Forum To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Please excuse the duplications. Please share with anyone who may be interested. In light of recent events in the country and in recognition of long-standing inequities in the library profession, *Theological Librarianship* (*TL*) is planning to devote the Spring 2021 issue to a forum addressing questions of diversity, equity, and inclusion in theological libraries and librarianship. Such questions take different forms in different libraries and even in different theological contexts, and we expect the forum to reflect some of these differences as well as some common themes across the landscape of theological librarianship. The *TL* forum will be an opportunity to share your experiences with these questions at your institution in a brief (750-1500 word) statement or reflection. Since diversity, equity, and inclusion (themselves often fraught terms) evoke a variety of concerns and realties touching race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, class, disability, religious and ethnic identity, etc., *TL* is looking for submissions that address this variety in critical and constructive ways, with a special focus on the intersectional nature of differing religious commitments and theological perspectives as they engage with other forms of diversity. *Theological Librarianship* (https://serials.atla.com/theolib) is an open access journal publishing peer reviewed articles, as well as essays and reviews, on subjects at the intersection of librarianship and religious and theological studies that potentially impact libraries. The deadline for submissions to the Spring 2021 forum is January 3, 2021. Submissions must be made at https://serials.atla.com/theolib/about/submissions. Please review the submission guidelines carefully. You will need to login to create your submission. If you have not previously created an account, you will need to register first before a submission can be completed. In the submission form, select “Special Forum” under the Section drop-down. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our editorial team at [email protected]. Thank you, Garrett Trott University Librarian CORBAN UNIVERSITY 5000 Deer Park Drive SE Salem, Ore.
