Abstract

Abstract Earth Science is one of the least diverse scientific fields, but libraries can play a role in assisting their liaison departments’ diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts by diversifying our collections and supporting research practices that promote their use. In 2020, the University of California, Berkeley’s Earth & Planetary Science Department graduate students created an impressive Call to Action directed toward the faculty of the department. The Call to Action included a plan for advancing the department’s diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, particularly important in a department with only 17% of students from underserved backgrounds enrolled in the graduate program. Stemming from this effort, the Earth Sciences & Map Library at UC Berkeley, developed a guide (https://guides.lib.berkeley.edu/geo_dei) to provide resources to further educate departmental faculty, staff, and students on the topic of DEI. The guide encourages researchers to expand their engagement with scholarship and citation practices intentionally while working on these DEI efforts. Although Earth Science is highlighted in this particular LibGuide, the strategies are universal, especially as applied to science, technology, engineering, math (STEM) fields. The development of this guide, as well as partnerships with active student groups, can serve as a tool for other academic departments creating and promoting DEI efforts.
制定合作多样性、公平性和包容性(DEI)指南:图书馆部门在地球科学领域的伙伴关系
摘要地球科学是最不多样化的科学领域之一,但图书馆可以通过多样化馆藏和支持促进其使用的研究实践,在协助其联络部门的多样性、公平性和包容性(DEI)工作方面发挥作用。2020年,加州大学伯克利分校地球与行星科学系的研究生向该系的教职员工发出了一份令人印象深刻的行动呼吁。《行动呼吁》包括一项促进该系多样性、公平性、包容性和可及性的计划,这在一个只有17%来自服务不足背景的学生参加研究生课程的系中尤为重要。得益于这一努力,加州大学伯克利分校的地球科学与地图图书馆制定了一份指南(https://guides.lib.berkeley.edu/geo_dei)提供资源,就DEI主题进一步教育系教师、员工和学生。该指南鼓励研究人员在从事这些DEI工作的同时,有意扩大他们对学术和引文实践的参与。尽管《LibGuide》特别强调了地球科学,但这些策略是普遍的,尤其是在应用于科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域时。本指南的制定,以及与活跃的学生团体的合作,可以作为其他学术部门创建和促进DEI工作的工具。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Map & Geography Libraries is a multidisciplinary publication that covers international research and information on the production, procurement, processing, and utilization of geographic and cartographic materials and geospatial information. Papers submitted undergo a rigorous peer-review process by professors, researchers, and practicing librarians with a passion for geography, cartographic materials, and the mapping and spatial sciences. The journal accepts original theory-based, case study, and practical papers that substantially advance an understanding of the mapping sciences in all of its forms to support users of map and geospatial collections, archives, and similar institutions.
