The Trans and Gender Diverse LIS Network
The Trans and Gender Diverse LIS Network is an informal community of trans and gender diverse people who work in libraries. At the moment it consists of Slack and Discord spaces where members can share experiences and get feedback. The group was started in 2017 as a way for trans and gender diverse library workers to connect, as many of us are the only people of our identity in our workplace.
If you are a library worker or LIS student who identifies as trans or gender diverse (including but not limited to binary trans, nonbinary, genderqueer, agender, genderfluid, and more), fill out this form for an invitation to the group.
While cisgender allies are greatly appreciated, this group is a space for trans and gender diverse people to connect with each other. Please respect this and do not ask to join if you are cisgender.
Members of the group will have access to the following:
- Slack and Discord spaces for connecting with other trans and gender diverse LIS workers and students
- A list of trans and gender diverse library workers offering support for LIS students and new library workers, such as interview prep, mentorship, and other professional guidance
