Cultures of Collecting: Sustaining Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Collection Development

Recording of the May 27, 2021, ACRL Presents: Cultures of Collecting: Sustaining Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Collection Development with speakers Roxanne Backowski, Tamar Evangelestia-Dougherty, and Scarlet Galvan. What is the "right way" to decenter racism when building collections in academic libraries? As librarians how do we hold ourselves accountable for fostering diversity and equity through our collection development plans? What systemic and pervasive barriers within academic libraries must be dismantled before we can effectively perform and sustain this work? Please join us for this panel discussion to hear experts from academic libraries and special collections repositories provide insights into including diverse perspectives in scholarly collections for teaching, research, and learning. Discussion will include the value of expanding collections with diversity in mind, how to assess collections for diverse content, continuing to include underrepresented voices when funding is restricted, and ensuring diverse voices are preserved when collections are weeded or reappraised. This 1.5 hour webinar will include methodologies for assessment, and time for question and response. ACRL Presents webcasts are provided as a free resource to the academic library community.
