WiLSWorld Shorts: Unpacking New Diversity Titles

This WiLSWorld Shorts was held on Wednesday, July 7th. If you missed it, you can watch the recording on our YouTube channel.

In this timely webinar, Sue Maniloff, Vice President of Business Development at Omnigraphics, will cover the increasing need for diversity resources in schools and libraries as well as the benefits of conducting a diversity audit to best assess which areas within a collection need further development. Intended for school administrators, librarians, and educators, this informative session will discuss the importance of unpacking and building diversity collections for various ignored groups, helping readers see themselves as a mirror, and also as a window, seeing other points of view. Sue will also spotlight two newly published Omnigraphics titles, Understanding and Navigating Discrimination in America and Women in the Workplace in America, 1900-2021.
