Join us and complete a collection audit in this transformative online workshop and guest speaker program! 

Course Overview

Library collections must be diverse and inclusive, offering windows into, and reflections of the vast array of people, stories and experiences that make up our world. 

In this course, you’ll learn from an outstanding group of experts as they explore key concepts essential to cultivating and promoting inclusive and equitable collections. You’ll conduct a diversity and inclusion audit of your collections, and hear about ways to include wider perspectives from and about LGBTQIA people, Black, indigenous, and people of color, and historically underrepresented ethnicities, cultures, and religions. You’ll learn how to ensure that your collections are more reflective of the diversity of  your community and the larger world.
