TSS: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Cataloging and Collection Development
What are other libraries are doing about obtaining a diverse, equitable and inclusive collection?
As librarians, how do we develop a diverse, equitable and inclusive collection of materials that serves all our patrons? Staff from La Grange Public Library, Naperville Public Library and Evanston Public Library will demonstrate how to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in purchasing, cataloging and weeding in your library's collection.
The three libraries utilize different catalogs and represent distinctive approaches in collection development and cataloging. Naperville Public Library staff provide centralized selection across three locations using the Innovative Sierra catalog. La Grange Public Library is part of the SWAN consortium with a shared SirsiDynix Enterprise catalog, and Evanston Public Library is part of the CCS consortium with a shared Polaris catalog. Panelists from the three libraries will discuss how to develop and implement a diversity audit to identify strengths and weaknesses in your library’s collection.
