RLI 286  2 RESEARCH LIBRARY ISSUES: A REPORT FROM ARL, CNI, AND SPARC 2015 Michigan Library provide an important review of some of the considerations for libraries as they work to make content and services accessible to a growing population of users of all abilities. Nichols and Schnitzer also discuss strategies for making libraries welcoming organizations for staff with disabilities. More and more, the social sciences are weighing the value that diversity and inclusion bring to systems, and many organizations and institutions are prioritizing these efforts in their strategic planning. These three articles in this issue of RLI offer unique insights and perspectives into the principles of diversity and inclusion and their application to various dimensions of library operations and culture—recruitment and retention of people from traditionally underrepresented groups, organizational climate and health, and library services to persons with disabilities. © 2015 Mark A.
