Sexual harassment in the library: understanding experiences and taking action

Sexual harassment in libraries exists, but it has not been comprehensively studied. In the wake of the #MeToo movement and shared anecdotal experiences, library staff members at the University of California, San Francisco were empowered to address this issue in our library. This paper will present the results of our survey of sexual harassment experiences of our staff and, in an effort to encourage other academic library workers to spearhead similar efforts in their own environments, will document our process of developing anti-sexual harassment efforts in our library.

图书馆领域确实存在性骚扰问题，但目前尚未得到全面系统的研究。随着#MeToo运动的兴起与各类轶事性经历的广泛传播，加州大学旧金山分校（University of California, San Francisco）的图书馆馆员得以在本校图书馆范围内推动该问题的解决工作。本文将呈现我们针对本校馆员性骚扰经历开展的调查结果；同时，为鼓励其他学术图书馆工作者在各自机构中牵头开展同类反性骚扰工作，本文还将梳理并记录本校制定反性骚扰举措的完整流程。
