I am Amanda Goolsby, and I am a Master’s student in the School of Library and Information Science at the University of Alabama. I have created this Diversity and Inclusion ePortfolio (D&I-eP) as part of my work for the CIS 650 (Applying Diversity Leadership Theories and Praxis in Information Organization) course during spring 2025. In my D&I-eP, I analyze existing diversity and inclusion responses for Black history and Black community members' information access in the Tannehill Iron and Steel Museum located in McCalla, Alabama. As part of my analysis, I will critically evaluate a variety of existing information responses to ensure equity of representation, access, and information use of diverse stakeholders in my community-centered organizational setting. I will also develop a strategic diversity action plan for Tannehill Ironworks State Park to identify future directions of progressive growth and professional practice.
