This session will discuss the successful methods University of Minnesota's Diversity Outreach Collaborative used to build leadership in the area of diversity at all levels of the Libraries, based upon the principle that "Diversity is Everyone's Everyday Work."  The Collaborative will share the strategies they have learned that will help attendees develop educational programs for their staff; create and grow their libraries' diversity committees; encourage collaboration with departmental, institutional and community partners; and build leadership skills libraries-wide.
