I'll also chime in and say that this is the ONLY time ever I've seen a conversation on a mailing list evolve and raise the level of discussion rather than the usual descent into madness. Good job, everyone. Caleb's suggestion for adding some of these issues to RFP processes in particular has really got me thinking. I certainly would love to see more of this conversation, as others have expressed. I now for a Puerto Rican it's been quite a shock moving here, diversity wise. On the other hand, this is a long conversation to have. Is there another place where we could go to discuss diversity issues in Oregon libraries?<br>
