1 President’s Message
Welcome to the 2004 Oregon Library Association Conference and Eugene, Oregon's second largest city.
This year's conference theme, “Diversity, Not Window Dressing,” is a concept that Sandra Rios Balderrama, recent recipient of REFORMA's 2003 Arnulfo D. Trejo Librarian of the Year, deposited in my head and heart. Sandra told me that diversity officers used the phrase to describe that which only appears to address change and that which only deals with the surface. I enthusiastically embraced the notion.
Pursuing diversity, and not simply window dressing, provides a remarkable response to a growing political climate that measures patriotism according to a citizen's level of thought conformity and that cultivates suspicion for those whose beliefs or customs differ from our own. This concept remains essential to several enduring ambitions of libraries: The enrichment of the user experience through our collections, services, and programs. The successful development of all library employees. The advancement of the practice and principles of intellectual freedom.
To achieve this different (if you will) diversity, we must capitalize on our innate strengths as Oregon library professionals: perseverance, flexibility, creativity, and collaboration. We must stir ourselves beyond the status quo.
In the spirit of the conference theme, OLA's Conference Committee 2004 has assembled a plethora of pre-conferences and programs to inspire and transform your professional life. Your participation in this year's conference, indeed in all OLA activities, only reinforces that deeper, more radical, even provocative sense of diversity. Please take pleasure in the offerings of the Eugene-Springfield area and enjoy this year's conference.
