September 2020 369 C&RL News

Welcome to the September 2020 issue of 
C&RL News. ACRL President Jon E. Caw-
thorne starts out this month’s issue with 
a call to action for systemic change in 
his article “Mountains to climb: Leader-
ship for sustainable change in scholarly 
communication.”

Elizabeth Hobart continues the focus 
on equity issues by analyzing the use of 
subject terms in cataloging records for 
recommended antiracist literature. Dis-
cover what she found about “Antiracism 
in the catalog.”

In this issue’s Perspectives on the 
Framework column, Karin Heffernan 
of Southern New Hampshire University 
examines the Framework for Information 
Literacy through an EDI lens in her article 
“Loaded questions.”

Selene Colbur n focuses on acces-
sibility and equity issues, providing a 
history of gender-free restrooms at the 

University of Vermont library in “Beyond 
the bathroom wars.”

At Penn State University, librarians 
launched an internal job bank to re-
distribute labor to projects in need of 
additional staff time during the recent 
shelter-in-place order. Leo S. Lo, Binky 
Lush, and Dace Freivaids write about the 
project in “Redistributing work during 
COVID-19.”

We also look back at the ACRL Together 
Wherever virtual event this issue. Many 
thanks to all the reporters who volunteered 
to write program summaries.
