摘要：In an article in the summer 2012 issue of Law Library Journal, “Addressing the ‘Emerging Majority’: Racial and Ethnic Diversity in law Librarianship in the Twenty-First Century,” Alyssa Thurston describes in detail the challenges that law libraries face in increasing their internal diversity to mirror the diversity of American society as a whole. In doing so, she points out that law librarians widely acknowledge the need for reaping the benefits (many of which she enumerates in her thorough treatment of the topic) of increasing diversity in the profession and attempts to answer the question of “why, after years of discussion and action, law librarianship is still not more racially and ethnically diverse.”
