These programs recruit recent graduates from Library and Information Science programs for training and specialization in some aspect of academic and research librarianship, usually under a term-limited contract of one to three years, often with a stated goal of contributing to the diversity of the profession by recruiting candidates from historically underrepresented groups. Moreover, academic librarianship is less diverse than faculty membership in colleges and universities. We believe there are better ways for academic libraries to demonstrate their commitment to diversity than simply administering these programs.
