A Note From the
Executive Director

I am pleased to announce our updated Code of Conduct<https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=251307645&mm=88136973305>, developed in collaboration with the DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility) Strategies Advisory Group. This comprehensive document reflects our commitment to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.

As part of this initiative, we have introduced a digital form for submitting concerns<https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=251308867&mm=88136973305>. This form allows participants to raise issues to the NEO-RLS staff and board president, offering the option of anonymity for those who prefer it.

Additionally, all participants and speakers involved in our webinars and workshops are required to acknowledge the Code of Conduct. This ensures that everyone engaging in NEO-RLS activities is aligned with our shared values.

Visit our website to view the complete Code of Conduct<https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=251307645&mm=88136973305>. We welcome any questions or feedback you may have.

Happy New Year!

Ragan

OhioNet Diversity Assessment: Call for Participation

OhioNet is leading an Anti-Racism, Diversity, and Inclusion (ADEI) Assessment to learn more about best practices that empower both BIPOC librarians and Ohio libraries to thrive as an inclusive community. We need your help to include the voices of our valued BIPOC library community.

As part of this special study, in January and February 2024 the ADEI consulting team will conduct interviews with librarians from historically marginalized communities. The goal is to learn more about their career experiences and identify impactful organizational practices that best support an inclusive workforce.

If you are a librarian from a historically marginalized community and would like to be interviewed for this assessment or if you would like to nominate a BIPOC librarian colleague to be interviewed, please complete this form<https://mms.neo-rls.org/ct.php?lid=251340639&mm=88136973305> by January 12th, 2024.

Interviews will take about one hour over zoom and be administered by a DEI librarian practitioner in Ohio.

The assessment team is looking forward to talking with a wide variety of BIPOC librarians from across the state and from different types of libraries (e.g., K-12, public, academic, special). Selected participants will be contacted by the end of January to schedule an interview.

Thank you in advance for your contributions to this project and to helping create inclusive library communities throughout Ohio.
