Challenging the Good Fit Narrative: Creating Inclusive Recruitment Practices in Academic Libraries

As a profession, we talk the talk of valuing diversity and inclusion, but do we walk the walk with our hiring practices? The profession stresses the importance of “a good fit” when hiring, but we rarely interrogate the fact that “a good fit” can be a reflection of our implicit biases.
