CSL diversity resource website

The CSL Foundation discussed what could be done to help school libraries address diversity in their collections, such as bibliographies and grants/donation sources. The CSLA Committee on Standards Integration agreed to create a bibliography of resources: https://tinyurl.com/CSLACSIEthnicityResources. The first phase focuses on racial/ethnicity, phase 2 will focus on gender, and phase 3 will focus on disabilities/different abilities/special needs. These resources also contribute to addressing intersectionality and social justice. The umbrella concepts of CRT and UDL: university design for learning.  It includes collection development (audit, selection tools, school level lists), instructional design/curriculum incorporation, and grants/donation resources. The resource page is now available on csla.net

CSLA members are encouraged to recommend additional resources to the site by emailing the URL and title/description to Lesley.Farmer@csulb.edu
