While we hope that others in the library join us, it’s OK if just us three - we can help each other continue the work. We’ll try to find more concrete pieces/activities to center our conversations around.]]> 2021-05-10 13:51:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1509158417 ldinkle https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1509169302 Contains:

I don't think 11+ is anything to sneeze at! --KIB]]> 2021-05-13 19:02:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1522379174 Ask_A_Librarian https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1522392258 I think this would be a great way to diversify/expand our conversations, and could (hopefully) lead to better customer service. I really valued the opinions shared by the student who attended previously. --KIB]]> 2021-05-13 19:06:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1522392258 Ask_A_Librarian https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1522421332 I don't have any major complaints. I think that the group is meeting my expectations; I knew it wasn't going to completely change things in the library, but that it was going to be a good opportunity to start having some long overdue conversations. I would love to hear everyone else's opinions on this, though! --KIB]]> 2021-05-13 19:15:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1522421332 ldinkle https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1539953872 I love that we have a group where we can discuss DEI topics, but I'd really like to see us making recommendations to Admin Council or at least our departments on how to be more inclusive and equitable.  I think this is the next step. I'd also like practicing more scenarios, two of my personal favorite sessions were the one with scenarios and then where we discussion the 2 chapters of White Fragility. These seemed the most applicable to everyone.]]> 2021-05-19 15:06:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1539953872 ldinkle https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1539972301 2021-05-19 15:10:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1539972301 ldinkle https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1539983081 I'd like to see us choose some topics that highlight the diversity of our staff, everyone deserves to be seen, and we focused a whole lot on Black lives and not a lot on disability/ mental health, Native American and Indigenous people, LGBTQ+ .]]> 2021-05-19 15:12:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1539983081 ldinkle https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1540113259 Asking people to watch an hour long video may be a bigger ask, than what we realize. *I'd like to check this assumption with the survey to library folks. ]]> 2021-05-19 15:37:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1540113259 ldinkle https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1540125369 Sometimes it's important to change the topic based on what's happening in the world. * For the months that we are busy with instruction I'd like to see us plan further in advance and for us as the facilitators to talk before the meeting. ]]> 2021-05-19 15:39:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1540125369 ldinkle https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1540140986 We all have lots of meeting invites and other responsibilities. When we send out meeting invites with 10+ choices, my anxiety kicks into full gear. I'd like to curb this by offering folks 3 to 5 choices, based on our the facilitators availability. We (facilitators, minus Liz) have access to each others calendars, so we can gauge when might be good times to have a meeting.]]> 2021-05-19 15:42:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1540140986 ldinkle https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1540171114 I'd like to add an action piece, tip or fact to our monthly invite. Ideas: How to be more inclusive, like how to point to all the restrooms not just the gendered ones, to check yourself to see if you're providing a patron all the information you would to another patron, walking a patron to the stacks and why we should do this, and how to make forms more inclusive. These don't need to be earth shattering - in fact shorter is better. We can also share these on social media - two areas at once.]]> 2021-05-19 15:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1540171114 ldinkle https://padlet.com/ldinkle/dei/wish/1540194552 This just happened and while it seems far away from us, it actually isn't and affects at least one of staff members.
