"Since the mid 1980s academic libraries have established minority residency programs in an effort to increase the representation of librarians of color in their institutions. Now more than a decade later, these programs continue to be developed. This collection provides essays by librarians of color who participated in residency programs, as well as some of the library administrators whose institutions made these programs possible."

"This volume offers an overview of muliculturalism, discussing, among other things, its history, its place in public and academic libraries, the recruitment of a diverse staff, and the demography of library personnel."
