Diversity and Inclusion Statement

IOLUG Diversity and Inclusion Statement IOLUG fosters and promotes an inclusive environment that encourages the broadest possible field of voices and opportunities for professional growth and lifelong learning for library workers. 

IOLUG’s inclusive philosophy transcends visible diversity as well as library type and geographic location to engage and honor what makes each individual unique. For this reason, we embrace people with all their differences in age, sex, sexual orientation, gender, ability, social, racial, ethnic, economic, and/or religious identities. 

IOLUG affirms its commitment to increasing diversity among its membership, board, committees, and conference speakers. 

IOLUG welcomes diverse points of view, perspectives, and experiences in order to “provide opportunities for individuals to share and learn about current trends in libraries and technology to inspire innovation,” in accordance with IOLUG’s stated Mission.
