Spectrum Presidential Initiative Stewardship Report Success through Community Dear Friends,

We did it and it is all thanks to you!

Today is a time for celebration! We have met and surpassed our goal to grow support for the Spectrum Scholarship Program. I am pleased to spur your personal celebration with this final report of the Spec- trum Presidential Initiative. Everyone who contributed to this remarkable success has my profound gratitude and more important the lasting gratitude of the Scholars whose education is furthered by your effort: all of your gifts are and will continue to be deeply appreciated.

Dollars, of course, are not the whole story of the campaign. The most enjoyable part is knowing that 222 students received Spectrum Scholarships during the Initiative through your support. This includes newly established annual scholarships in perpetuity from ALSC, the Texas Library Association, and ProQuest, and a renewal of support for scholarships from AASL, ACRL, NLM/MLA and YALSA. As noted in the scholar testimonials throughout the “...The most enjoyable report, the Scholars’ success and service to traditionally underserved users part is knowing that speaks volumes about the value of the Spectrum Scholarship Program to the 222 students received library profession.

Your gen- erosity has been exemplary. I also owe a special debt to Dr. Em Claire Knowles, ALA Treasurer Jim Neal, ALA Executive Director Keith Michael Fiels, former director of the ALA Office for Diversity Miguel Figueroa, Assistant Director of Spectrum and Related Grants Gwendolyn Prellwitz for your leadership and guidance, and the expert assistance of the ALA Development Office. I am pleased to announce that Dr. Em Claire Knowles, assistant dean at Simmons College, has graciously stepped forward to lead the next generation by serving as the Chair of the Spectrum Fundraising Task Force. Thank you Em Claire, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

Thank you again, donors, for your generous support of the Spectrum Presidential Initiative.

Together we did it! The American Library Association is pleased to share this report highlight- ing the accomplishments of the Spectrum Presidential Fundraising Initiative. During ALA’s $1 million initiative campaign, which was officially launched in June 2009 (Chicago) and ended June 2012 (Anaheim), more than 1,700 gener- ous donors contributed more than $1.23 million towards making a master’s degree in library and information science more accessible and affordable for talented women and men who have made the library profession a career choice. Libraries serve as the foundation of life-long learning in our society—they change lives, build communities and connect individuals with global resources of information and knowledge. To meet the changing needs of an evolving society, libraries need a new generation of culturally diverse . This is the goal of the Spectrum Scholarship Program. Contributions to Spectrum Presidential Initiative The American Library Association is deeply appreciative of every gift made July 2009–June 2012 in support of the Spectrum Scholarship Program and happy to share some of Organizations $516,499 the ways that philanthropy has made a difference during this fundraising cam- Businesses $219,552 paign. Thank you for your generous support of ALA’s Spectrum Scholarship Spectrum Program and its accomplishments. Students/Alumni $13,350 ALA Members $220,848 ALA Divisions $80,220 $1.23 Million Raised, Goal Exceeded! Friends & Family $25,562 The American Library Association is proud to announce that we met and Planned Gifts $160,000 exceeded the initiative campaign goal of $1 million. This accomplishment is Total Giving $1,236,031 the result of generous support by ALA members, Spectrum alumni, library school students, ALA leadership, ALA divisions, round tables, friends of libraries and librarians. As we look towards the future, our plan is to build upon this success and to seek out new support to increase professional devel- opment opportunities to retain Spectrum alumni within the profession, to expand our recruitment efforts at the undergraduate and high school level, and to cultivate LIS faculty needed to matriculate more master’s students from underrepresented groups.

Spectrum Stewardship Report 1 Spectrum Presidential Initiative Leadership The Spectrum Presidential Initiative was introduced to the thousands of 2009 ALA Annual Conference attendees in Chicago by then ALA President . She was joined by ALA Immediate Past President James R. Rettig and ALA President-Elect Roberta Stevens who announced their full support towards the initiative. Over the next three years, each ALA president joined the Spectrum Presidential Initiative Executive Committee to help guide its strategic direction.

Spectrum Stewardship Report 3 Swims for Spectrum Miriam Tuliao, assistant director of Central Collection Development at the New York Public Library, participated in the June 29, 2012 Liberty Island Swim—a 1.2 K race around the Statue of Liberty—in support of the Spectrum Presidential Initiative. Tuliao is a United States masters swimmer who has participated in several long-distance open water events, including the Big Shoulders 5K Swim in Chicago in September 2007. Tuliao participated in the New Jersey State Triathlon in 2008 and the 5.85-mile Little Red Lighthouse Swim in 2009, both times raising funds for the ALA Spectrum Scholarship Program. Tuliao has also participated in two United States Masters Swimming 2-Mile Cable Open Water National Championships. Tuliao was delighted to con- tinue her annual tradition of raising funds for the Spectrum Scholar- ship Program during the Spectrum Presidential Initiative. Tuliao’s fundraising efforts on behalf of Spectrum are just one example of how individuals can go the extra mile to support the Spectrum Scholarship Program.

Ann Arbor gatherings support Spectrum Scholars with Friends, Food, and Funds Librarians at the University of Michigan raised $1,500 for Spectrum Scholarships at the 2nd Annual Ann Arbor Spec- trum Presidential Initiative fundraiser and committed to hosting an annual fundraising and networking event for Spec- trum Scholars in the area. The 2011 event was organized and sponsored by Shevon Desai, Karen Downing, Helen Look, Martin Knott, Alexandra Rivera, and Sue Wortman, with venue space generously donated by librarian Ann Gladwin, and cooking by Jeanne Chesky and Javier Lopez. Over thirty guests attended the Mexican Fiesta dinner, including librarians, library support staff, faculty from the School of Information, many past and present Spectrum Scholars, and friends from the Ann Arbor community.

Organizers said, “We are once again very proud of the broad support for the Spectrum Program demonstrated by our colleagues and friends—we are a profession that deends on creativity and diversity, and Spectrum has benefited our library in many ways, including giving us some of our most dynamic librarians!”

OCLC, Los Angeles Public Libraries and the ALA Office for Diversity Combine Efforts for Middle School Outreach and Recruitment As part of the Spectrum Presidential Initiative OCLC contributed $21,000 to support three Spectrum Scholarships and to host a recruitment event in conjunction with the 2012 Annual Conference. OCLC, the Los Angeles Public Library, and the American Library Association’s Spectrum Scholarship Program presented a special recruitment event for 30 students from teacher Francine Avila’s Gage Middle School class in Los Angeles on Tuesday June 19, 2012. The day began with a panel of librarians discussing what brought them to their career and what they enjoy most about their jobs. Students learned about the wide range activities that fill a librarian’s day—be it looking up bezoars as a medical librarian or helping teens find their favorite songs through Freegal, LAPL’s online database of free music. Additional Spectrum Scholars arrived for lunch, and the day cul- minated with a scavenger hunt through the Central Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library. Four teams utilized tablets provided by LAPL to answer trivia questions and complete photo and video challenges as they raced to win Ipod shuffles provided by OCLC.

Spectrum Stewardship Report 8 Spanning the Spectrum During the Spectrum Presidential Initiative the Spectrum Scholarship Program was generously supported through three major grant projects. These projects supplemented the success of the scholarship program by providing additional scholarships and specialized curriculum and expanded diversity recruitment efforts to include pre-professional and doctoral level activities.

Yet, there is a strong need for the library, which some consider an archaic institution. I feel that my con- tribution is being able to show Pew that their work is necessary,” notes Devezin who is currently a library associate at New Orleans Public Library.

“At the meeting, I forged global connections; the residual benefits will have positive impacts on many organizations as I can use those connec- tions to hopefully match scholars entering librar- ies, nonprofit organizations, and NGOs with other Gates Foundation partners who have specific needs and opportunities available. Participating in the PLM was the pinnacle of an exceptionally rewarding experience as a Spectrum Scholar and has given me valuable inspiration and an invalu- able network as I begin a new opportunity as a University of Illinois doctoral student focused on digital literacy and digital inclusion,” remarks Brannon who received a Spectrum Doctoral Fellowship funded by IMLS and administered by the ALA Office for Diversity in August 2013.

Spectrum Stewardship Report 9 Building a Knowledge Alliance Institute of Museum and Library Services support of the Discovering Librarianship project provided an opportunity for the Office for Diversity to work with 35 early career librarians from underrepresented groups to launch the Knowledge Alliance (http://knowledgealliance.org). The Knowledge Alliance is a recruitment initiative marketing librarians’ com- mitment to being helpful, informative, and collaborative. The tagline for Knowledge Alliance is “Meet Your Ally” and reflects the willingness of recruiters to serve as personal guides for college and high school students interested in careers in library and information science. The Knowledge Alliance continues to exhibit at career fairs and events across the U.S. and Canada.

Spectrum Doctoral Fellowships: Building Change The Office for Diversity received a second grant from IMLS to support the Spectrum Doctoral Fellowship Program: Building Change Project. Through this project, the Office for Diversity created new resources to assist individuals exploring doctoral studies in library and information science by building a network of current PhD candidates discuss- ing the opportunities and realities of doctoral studies through a series of free webinars. 104 individuals participated in the series and doctoral programs are encouraged to share information with the Office for Diversity for distribution to this pool of diverse prospective doctoral students. Also through this project, six new Spectrum Doctoral Fellowships have been awarded:
