Like many other historical heritage months, Women's History Month began as a week-long celebration on March 7, 1982. Five years later, after being petitioned by the National Women's History Project, Congress passed Public Law 100-9, officially designating March as Women's History Month. Since then, the President of the United States has issued annual proclamations and the National Women's History Alliance has organized themes commemorating women's history.

Are you interested in law librarianship, but haven't pursued it as a career path because you do not have a law degree? While some law librarians do have a J.D. (juris doctor) or law degree, it is certainly not necessary to work in the field. Law librarians work in many different settings. They can be found working in a variety of settings, such as academic law libraries, public law libraries, courthouses, government agencies, and private law firms. Their patrons can include the general public, law students, attorneys, legislators, and judges. This webinar is hosted by iSchool instructor Vicki Steiner and features an esteemed panel of guest speakers who will share their experiences and suggestions for job opportunities and professional growth and development in the field of law librarianship.

The CCQAP is a collaborative, community-based effort tasked with documenting the history of queer and trans* lives on the California Central Coast. The project values the specificity of individual lives, and so they mean the terms “queer and trans*” to encompass not only the recognized range of historically marginalized LGBTQ+ identities, but also the lives of those that do not readily fit into intelligible categories of gender or sexuality. When not simply overlooked or ignored, such lives have been actively excluded from the official records archived in institutions of public memory. However, much of the historical information pertaining to queer and trans* lives does survive in the memories of people. For that reason, the CCQAP aims to recover and preserve those first-hand accounts through recorded interviews and the collection of relevant supplementary materials.

Native American heritage first became officially recognized by the United States government in 1986 as “Native American Indian Heritage Week” after Congress passed S.J. Resolution 390. Four years later, the week-long celebration became a national heritage month celebrated in November. Thereafter, the resolution that was previously designated as “National American Indian Heritage Month” or “Native American Indian Month” has since been amended in 2008 to include the celebration of Alaskan Natives, now referred to as “National Native American Heritage Month.” Access the captioned version of this webcast at https://youtu.be/G7gTYahqRBo

In November 2021, the San José State University School of Information's Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Committee hosted a symposium in recognition of Native American Heritage Month. This free symposium featured keynote speakers Dr. Ashley Minner, assistant curator for history and culture at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian; Dr. Kim Sellers, associate professor and program director of graduate reading education at UNC Pembroke; Dr. Duane Yazzie, teacher and reading specialist at Tséhootsooi Diné Bi Ołta' School, Window Rock, the Navajo Nation; Dr. Malinda Lowery, historian and documentary film producer, who is a member of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina; and Jody Cummings, JD, Office of Legal Counsel for the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation of Connecticut. The keynote speakers made several observations on the challenges facing the Native American community, such as the common assumption that Native Americans are a race that only existed in the past, specifically the 1800's, their falsified history that has been written by non-Native Americans, the general public being unable to effectively communicate with today's Native Americans, and much more. Suggestions on how libraries can successfully acknowledge and assist this underrepresented community were made by Sheila Gurtu, student outreach specialist and iSchool alumna, who has worked closely with the Circle of Learning project; Valerie Kingsland, program manager for the Impact Library Program and Native Library Initiative at the Little Free Library nonprofit; Naomi Bishop, health sciences librarian at the University of Arizona; and Lynette Dial, youth librarian at Hoke County Public Library and project manager for Reading Nation Waterfall. This discussion included how libraries should add more Native American items to their collections, how library staff should welcome Native Americans as one of their own as opposed to treating them as strangers, effective education services that can benefit the Native American community, and other strategies for success. Native Americans have a powerful presence in the United States both historically and culturally. Their resilience and creativity offer great learning opportunities for non-Native Americans, and it is important for librarians to be the first to extend a helping and collaborative hand to this important community. “Bridging the Past and Future: Improving Library Services for the Native American Community” offers tools and strategies for making effective changes in all American libraries.

Race, Gender, and Neutrality in Libraries” (2017), Gina Schlesselman-Tarango will trace some of the political work that is performed at the intersections of whiteness and gender in libraries, demonstrating how that which surfaces in our field is illustrative and often in service of larger racial projects.
