BLACK CONTRIBUTION TO BRITISH LIBRARIANSHIP
The debate was led by Mandy Hicken, Ann Thompson (ACLA) and
Gulshan Iqbal (ALAG). Both Ann and Gulshan emphasised the need for commitment to issues of race equality, particularly in relation to status, salaries and support from organisations like the LA.
A wide ranging debate ensued including points on: cultural awareness; the need to disseminate good practice; recruitment to the profession; comparison with practices in Europe and the USA; the idea of librarianship education; the products and services offered by the LA.
It was agreed that the points raised would be considered in the summer Committee cycle and brought together at Council in October in time for this year's "Black Contribution" conference on 17 November.
