Hilary Wong, Katherine Hicks and Dave Kornreich
Hilary Wong, Library, Katherine Hicks, Chemistry Department, and former staff member Dave Kornreich, had their bibliographic essay, “Building Inclusive STEM Collections: Books by BIPOC Authors,” published in the October 2022 issue of CHOICE. Published by American College and Research Libraries. ACRL is a division of the American Library Association. CHOICE is the premiere journal academic librarians consult when selecting books for their libraries.
To write the essay, Wong, Hicks and Kornreich reviewed more than 70 books written by scientists who are Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC). They considered works of scientific literature, popular science, children’s books, and history/biography, along with books of poetry, books about education and more. As well as offering guidance to other libraries seeking to diversify their collections, the project informed the addition of several books to SUNY Cortland's own library.
