Brewer mentioned that the University of Delaware (1984) and the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) (1985) were the first institutions to implement library residency programs with minority recruitment as a programmatic focus in the mid-1980s.39 Due to the ban on affirmative action in California, the UCSB residency program continues, but it ceased to be used as a minority recruitment tool. cache/crl-16642.pdf txt/crl-16642.txt
