The Medical Library Association recently announced its commitment to diversity and inclusion. While this is a positive start, critical librarianship takes the crucial concepts of diversity and inclusion one step further by advocating for social justice action and the dismantling of oppressive institutional structures, including white supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism. Critical librarianship takes many forms, but, at its root, is focused on interrogating and disrupting inequitable systems, including changing racist cataloging rules, creating student-driven information literacy instruction, supporting inclusive and ethical publishing models, and rejecting the notion of libraries as neutral spaces. This article presents examples of the application of critical practice in libraries as well as ideas for applying critical librarianship to the health sciences.
医学图书馆协会最近宣布致力于多元化和包容性。虽然这是一个积极的开端，但批判图书馆学通过倡导社会正义行动和打破压迫性的制度结构，包括白人至上、父权制和资本主义，将多元化和包容性这两个关键概念更进一步。批判图书馆学有多种形式，但它的核心是专注于质疑和打破不平等的系统，包括改变种族主义编目规则、创建以学生为驱动的信息素养教学、支持包容和道德的出版模式，以及拒绝图书馆是中立空间的观念。本文介绍了批判实践在图书馆中的应用实例，并提出了将批判图书馆学应用于健康科学的想法。
