There are about three LORDS sessions each academic year, usually around the ends or beginnings of semesters. Each session will be facilitated by one of the members of the interest group.
This work also does not necessarily profit off the labor that a person of color has begun, but it is a continuation of work without the person who originated the practice because of the lack of care and prioritization for equity and inclusion ideals in practice. The people who are furthering this work do so in hopes of not necessarily appropriating labor, but of investment in changing systemically and collectively how we think about reference and criticality.
After presentations to the Council of Library Deans, an interest group - further individual prioritization and additional work for the people involved - was the recommended action. This is the organized group that attempts to intentionally commit to the ideas of LORDS.
