The Black Information Professionals' Network is the only independent discussion list dedicated to the concerns and interests of Black information professionals -- librarians, archivists, info brokers, etc. -- and others throughout the African Diaspora with an interest in the library and information field.
Topics discussed may include concerns of the profession, race and ethnicity in the workplace, resource sharing, combatting white supremacy, education and training, job announcements, programs & exhibit mountings, and general library and information issues. Almost any issue of concern or interest to Black information professionals is appropriate for posting to the list. While anyone may join BLACK-IP, the list's primary focus is the concerns and interests of Black information professionals and others throughout the African Diaspora with an interest in the library and information field.
The list is not affiliated with any organization and is unmoderated.
