Antiracism is the practice of identifying, challenging, and changing the values, structures, and behaviors that perpetuate systemic racism.
Antiracism LibGuide
A new guide created by Katie Anderson highlights resources for research on antiracism with a focus on sources that are available at Rutgers.
Antiracism is the practice of identifying, challenging, and changing the values, structures, and behaviors that perpetuate systemic racism.
Included in the guide are recommended authors, ebooks, and reading lists; background information on the Black Lives Matter movement; links to podcasts and media; and other antiracist resources. It also features a section with historical material on Rutgers alumnus Paul Robeson, the namesake of Paul Robeson Library who is remembered for his antiracist activism.

Summer SAPAC
Summertime, and Summer SAPAC is here in its shorts and flip-flops to give you a low-key forum to share your research, practical solutions, and fizzy ideas with your fellow RUL librarians, or at least their virtual avatars and disembodied heads.
Got a research project, at any stage of development, that you would like to share with a friendly audience? Did you miss a chance to present at an in-person conference this spring? Would you like to organize a panel discussion? Perhaps you’d like to share your knowledge on a professional development topic, or workshop an idea you’ve had about how we’ll provide services next year? Maybe try something out in a smaller and less formal group before taking it to an NBL-All or RUL Faculty Forum?
If so, the Scholarly and Professional Activity Committee wants to know! We’re looking for presenters for the rest of the summer. We don’t need to limit ourselves to once a month, so the more the merrier. We anticipate scheduling these at lunchtime early in the week.
Please send your title, abstract, and top three preferred dates to the committee members below. We’ll schedule and announce them as they come in!
Janet Brennan Croft, co-chair till June 30
