Equity, Diversity, And Inclusion in Libraries: JJ Pionke,
Librarian At University of Illinois
I
Love Libraries: 7.02.2019
Libraries
are for everyone. Inclusion and accessibility are at the very heart of
libraries' mission, and librarians are playing an essential role in
facilitating the full participation of people with disabilities in society.
No
one exemplifies this mission more than JJ Pionke, Applied Health Sciences
Librarian at the University Library
of the University of Illinois. We
recently spoke with him about the value of embedding the principles of equity,
diversity, and inclusion into his work and learned more about projects he’s
undertaken, including the development of a series of disability libguides, the
creation of reflection rooms for students, and his work with special
populations, like veterans. WATCH
