April 16-17, 2019

Moderated by Katy DiVittorio, Katherine Brown, Keri Prelitz, and Jeff Eller

Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It’s free and open to everyone!

Registration information is at the end of the message.

Each day, discussion begins and ends at:

Pacific: 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Mountain: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Central: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Eastern: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Are you looking to take steps to identify or address a lack of diversity
and inclusion within your library’s collections? Do you want to go beyond
usage stats and cost-per-use and assess collections using values-based
metrics? Attend this ALCTS AS Committee on Research & Statistics
<http://www.ala.org/alcts/mgrps/as/cmtes/ats-acqres> sponsored e-Forum to
learn about the need, techniques, and tools to assess collections for
diversity and inclusion.

What Is an e-Forum?

An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters
of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The
e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email
address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate
with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two
to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free.
