crl-26764	Antelman, Kristin	Respecting Privacy of Thought in DEI Training	2025	19	.pdf	application/pdf	11216	510	38	The American Library Association (ALA) issued two guideline documents, a decade apart, to support library workers in the development of cultural competency skills: Diversity Standards: Cultural Competency for Academic Libraries (“Diversity Standards”)3 in 2012, and Cultural Proficiencies for Racial Equity: A Framework (“Cultural Proficiencies”) in 2022.4 Com- paring the two documents demonstrates how academic library cultural competency training moved from being anchored in library values and services to engaging with contested social and political topics that probe—and challenge—the personal views and beliefs of individual library workers. The ability of DEI trainers to keep up with ever-fluid linguistic norms and nuances also serves as a filter to identify library workers who do not devote the same energy to that purpose, or who lack the class- or education-based advantages to keep up.	cache/crl-26764.pdf	txt/crl-26764.txt
