Anne, Well said. I think you've hit the nail on the head. Diversity in collections, as well as in staffs and volunteers, really must first be a commitment made by the staff. The staff must have this vision -- alas, it seems many don't, although I think it's not because it is not an important issue to them, it is more because it is not a high up enough issue in their consciousness. Theoretically, who knows better how to integrate diversity into collections, public programming, mission statements and human resources than the professional staff and the consultants we all use? -- Anne W.
