ARL recognizes the difficulties that the profession has in attracting a diverse workforce and continues to work actively in the development of workplace climates that embrace diversity. One way that ARL achieves this end is through the work of the ARL Diversity Program. The ARL Diversity Program through its Leadership and Career Development Program and the Initiative to Recruit a Diverse Workforce, emphasizes ARL’s and its members’ commitment to creating a diverse academic and research library community to better meet the new challenges of global competition and changing demographics. Further, the diversity program focuses on issues surrounding work relationships in libraries while considering the impact of diversity on library services, interactions with library users, and the development of collections. More information about the diversity program can be found at http://www.arl.org/diversity/. ClimateQUAL® is an assessment initiative that focuses on some of the same issues. ClimateQUAL® is the statistics and assessment program’s tool that assesses organizational climate and diversity in libraries. ClimateQUAL® helps libraries plumb the dimensions of climate and organizational culture important for a healthy organization in a library setting. The ClimateQUAL® survey addresses climate issues such as diversity, teamwork, learning, and fairness, as well as current managerial practices, and staff attitudes and beliefs. Libraries use their ClimateQUAL® data to improve their organizational climate and diversity culture for delivering superior services to the communities they serve.
