The underrepresentation of BIPOC perspectives contributes to the inequity. Applying the Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach meaningfully engages BIPOC to help guide LIS investigations that identify evolving needs and concerns, such as how systematic racism may contribute to social justice issues like environmental and health inequity. Engaging with BIPOC, using the CBPR approach, can help address racial equity in LIS because it will result in increased racial representation which enables incorporation of the perspectives and priorities of BIPOC. This shift to greater engagement is imperative to respond to escalating attention to social injustice and ensure that these central issues are adequately reflected in LIS research. The discipline is positioned to help detail the drivers and implications of inequity and develop ways to address them. We underscore the importance of working across research disciplines by describing our CBPR experience engaging with BIPOC in LIS research. We highlight the perspectives of community partners who have over two decades of experience with community-based LIS research. We offer lessons learned to LIS researchers by describing the factors that make these initiatives successful and those which contribute to setbacks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/efi-211530","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,3]],"date-time":"2021-07-03T04:40:19Z","timestamp":1625287219000},"page":"247-256","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Enhancing racial equity in LIS research by increasing representation of BIPOC"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Charles R.","family":"Senteio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rutgers University School of Communication and Information, New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kaitlin E.","family":"Montague","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rutgers University School of Communication and Information, New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bettina","family":"Campbell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"YOUR Center, Flint, Michigan, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Terrance R.","family":"Campbell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"YOUR Center, Flint, Michigan, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Samantha","family":"Seigerman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rutgers University School of Social Work, New Brunswick, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"10.3233\/EFI-211530_ref1","first-page":"149","article-title":"The diversity mandate","volume":"45","author":"Adkins","year":"2004","journal-title":"Library Journal"},{"issue":"4","key":"10.3233\/EFI-211530_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"549","DOI":"10.1353\/cpr.2015.0077","article-title":"Measuring community-based participatory research partnerships: the initial development of an assessment instrument","volume":"9","author":"Arora","year":"2015","journal-title":"Progress in Community Health Partnerships: Research, Education, and Action"},{"key":"10.3233\/EFI-211530_ref3","unstructured":"Bonnici, L., & Burnett, K.
