Abstract
A systematic review on diversity, equity, and inclusion in academic hiring was conducted using literature from the library and information science and broader disciplines over the past twenty-two years in the United States. The review aimed to identify a growth in interest in DEI hiring practices as well as to discuss the lack of academic research being conducted on hiring practices. While searches initially produced 1,142 results on academic hiring and diversity, equity and inclusion, the researchers could only find 49 results that addressed hiring practices in higher education as related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Learning Outcomes: Define Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion as it relates to recruitment, retention, and professional development in academic libraries. Identify and address gaps in the scholarly literature pertaining to hiring and retaining diverse hires in academic libraries. Critically examine the role of DEI initiatives in academic library personnel recruitment and development.
