Diversifying STEM Librarianship
by Paige J. Dhyne, University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign iSchool

ACRL's Science and Technology Section (STS) Hot Topics committee held a
Q&A session on "Integrating Diversity
and Inclusion into STEM Librarianship
Practices" in which panelists talked about
their experiences in piloting programs,
creating student groups, and revising
libguides. Topics included diversity,

inclusion, and social justice initiatives,
gender equity in tech including those with
disabilities, and the career development of
minority populations.
Inspired by an ALA Annual 2017 address from Reshma Saujani, founder and
CEO of Girls Who Code, Carmen Cole, a
librarian from Penn State, created her own
program: Code for Her (CfH). CfH was
a free, nine-week program that consisted

of beginner workshop sessions in coding
for women and gender-diverse individuals.
It was met with success and arose from
an identified need to create a space for
diverse individuals to code outside of a
male-dominated field.
STEM programs are often the focus of
creating diverse opportunities. Examples
given included a Wikipedia edit-a-thon focused on celebrating Chicago-based STEM

women researchers/workers hosted by
Illinois Institute of Technology, and
the creation of a library, co-sponsored
student chapter of the Association of
Engineers in Education through University of Arizona libraries. Building collections and partnerships with university
organizations is important too, as both
MIT Libraries and Illinois Institute of
Technology Libraries explained.
