The Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Implementation Working Group (EDI-IWG) hosted a program at the 2017 ALA Annual Conference in Chicago, IL. The program was titled, "Where there is thunder, there is lightning: EDI and Change in Libraries."
The program featured lightning talks on equity, diversity, and inclusion initiatives from a broad range of libraries. Presenters had 5 minutes to share their successes and failures with initiatives designed to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion in their libraries.
A recording of this program is available. Full conference registrants can access the recording for free through the Conference Scheduler.
