November 2020 473 C&RL News

Welcome to the November 2020 issue of 
C&RL News. Aubrey Iglesias opens this 
month’s issue by discussing the impor-
tance of increasing inclusive participa-
tion in the profession in her The Way I 
See It essay “Stop, reflect, replace.”

At the University of Florida, librarians 
performed analysis of their children’s 
and young adult literature collections in 
an effort to increase diversity and rep-
resentation. Rachael Elrod and Brittany 
Kester write about the project in “Diverse 
BookFinder.”

Collections are also the focus of two 
additional articles this issue. Jennifer 
Kirk’s article “What is in those compact 
shelves?” details a project to increase the 
accessibility of government documents 
at Utah State University, and in our lat-
est Scholarly Communication column, 
Sandra Aya Enimil discusses “Liberating 
digital collections.”

As different models of remote work 
continue for many during the pandemic, 
focusing on well-being and morale is more 
important than ever. Cynthia Hudson-Vitale 
and Rebecca Miller Waltz provide a variety 
of support strategies in their article “Caring 
for our colleagues.”

Suzanne Gray, Bill Marino, Amanda 
Nichols Hess, and Beth Wallis continue the 
focus on teaming as they discuss informal, 
exchange-style, partnerships between two 
academic libraries in their article “An ex-
change could do you good.”

Make sure to check out the other fea-
tures and departments this month, including 
information on preparing World Book and 
Copyright Day celebrations and the latest 
Perspectives on the Framework column, fo-
cusing on “Constructing authority,” by Andy 
Foskey and Amanda Roper.

Thanks as always for reading the News!
