Janet M. Suzuki : ウィキペディア英語版 | Janet M. Suzuki Janet Suzuki (1943 – 1987) was a library leader. She devoted her life to social justice and civil rights issues. Feeling that the needs of Asian American librarians were unrepresented and under served by the American Library Association, she co-founded the Asian American Librarian Caucus (AALC) in 1975. It was the first Asian-American library organization that served the pan Asian American librarian community.〔Yamashita, Kenneth A.(2000), Asian/Pacific American Librarians Association— A History of APALA and Its Founders, Library Trends 49 (1) 2000: Ethnic Diversity in Library and Information Science, pg. 91〕 It was a predecessor to the Asian/Pacific American Librarians Association.〔(APLA Webpage )〕 ==Early life== During Suzuki's lifetime, the U.S. was in a state of crisis. Suzuki was born in Westboro, Ohio in 1943. She was born at a time when other Japanese were being placed in internment camps (Japanese American internment). When Suzuki was in high school and college in the 1960s, the civil rights movement was very alive with leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. protesting for equal rights in the South and Washington. Suzuki graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1968. In 1969, she received her MSLS degree from the University of Denver. After she graduated, she started to work for the Chicago Public Library where she stayed until retirement.〔Library Trends 49 (1) 2000, pg. 89.〕 Probably being influenced by the events during her lifetime, Suzuki carried on the struggle for Asian Americans locally in Chicago and nationally, within the ALA.
