“Digital preservation exists to safeguard knowledge for the future. But as the volume of digital content continues to grow, so too does the need to better understand the environmental impact of the systems, storage, infrastructure, and workflows that support long-term preservation.

Quintis Pinder writes: “While there is increasing recognition of the importance of diversity in higher education, Black men in librarianship often encounter significant structural barriers when it comes to advancing their careers, gaining representation, and stepping into leadership roles. It is hoped that this literature review will help academic libraries understand the unique and complex challenges faced by Black male librarians, while also promoting the implementation of intentional policies, mentorship programs, and equity-focused recruitment practices. These approaches are essential for building a more inclusive and representative academic library workforce.”
