SUMMARY:The Handbook of Black Librarianship – Black Librarianship in Academia
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for this month's session in our series 
 celebrating the Handbook of Black Librarianship. For our January webinar\, 
 we will discuss the history of Black Librarianship in academia\, sharing 
 perspectives from academic library workers\, professors\, and students. 
 Katie Perry will speak about her chapter\, “Historical Chronology of 
 Black LIS Education\,” Rashida Scott Blades will share about her 
 chapter\, "Getting the Job: Black Librarians in Academic Libraries\," and 
 Gemmicka Piper will talk about her chapter\, "A Black Alt-Ac Speaks: Early 
 Career Librarianship Trauma." A conversation will follow with questions 
 from other contributors and members of the audience.\n\nThis public program 
 is made possible by federal Library Service and Technology Act funds from 
 the Institute of Museum and Library Services\, which enable the New York 
 State Library to champion lifelong learning.  \n\nThe Handbook of Black 
 Librarianship was first published in 1977\, intended to “provide 
 reference information on the relationship of Afro-Americans to various 
 aspects of librarianship and libraries.” Compiled and edited by E.J. 
 Josey during his time as Chief of the Bureau of Specialist Library Services 
 for the New York State Library\, this volume provided resources for 
 developing African/Afro-American collections\, program guidance for serving 
 Black youth\, directories of library school programs primarily attended by 
 Black students\, and essays from Black educators\, writers\, librarians\, 
 and more. A second edition was published in 2000\, adding to and updating 
 the first volume. \n\nA third edition has just been published\, edited by 
 Andrew "Sekou” Jackson\, Marva L. Deloach\, and Michele Fenton. Beyond 
 updating previous volumes\, the new edition adds over 70 new essays on 
 Vital Issues\, Service to Our Communities\, Library Technology\, Wisdom 
 from Retirees\, Global Issues\, and Banned Books and Censorship. In this 
 webinar\, you will hear from the editors about their relationship to the 
 Handbook\, how this edition came to be\, and how you can use it to engage 
 with your library and its community.
