    Diversity and Inclusion at UMD Libraries Survey Results
    (2015) Chadley, Otis; Edwards, Jamie; Epps, Sharon; Garritano, Jeremy; Horbal, Andrew; McDonald, Celina Nichols; Sorrell, Cynthia; Tchangalova, Nedelina; Wheeler, Lisa
    The Diversity Advisory Committee (DAC) conducted a Diversity Climate Assessment Survey in order to assess the diversity health of the University of Maryland Libraries. The survey was initially conducted for three weeks in July-August, 2014 and re-activated, per Dean Steele’s instructions, for another week in September to get as good a view of diversity issues in the Libraries as possible. This DAC snapshot reports findings on how library faculty, staff and student workers perceive the current state of diversity and inclusion within the Libraries. It also provides information about what organizational changes, training, and programs will be most beneficial to the library staff.

    Video is Easy!
    (2014-07-30) Horbal, Andrew
    Discusses the three main barriers which prevent librarians from experimenting with video: 1. Don’t have access to production equipment 2. Not able to achieve the production values students/faculty expect 3. No time And explains why none of these things is actually a problem by demonstrating a decently-wide range of sources of ready-made video and video production tools which can easily be adapted to a library instruction context.
