Description: Three years ago, I was encouraged to lead a newly formed DEI
Task Force in our merged Library & IT division at a small liberal arts
college. We were charged with implementing a three-part strategy: building
a diverse team, arranging professional development opportunities for our
staff, and providing diverse and inclusive services and resources
(including library collections). We discarded the mindset of forced
trainings and assumed (rightly) that the staff truly desired to enhance
excellence through diversity and inclusion; then we continually set and
achieved small goals. We not only have accomplished much but have come to
be seen as a campus trailblazer.

Learning outcomes:

By the end of the webinar participants attendees will:

   -

   be familiar with examples of library DEI goals, resources, and specific
   examples of DEI activities, and be able to list ways to apply these to
   their own situations;
   -

   be able to identify and develop assessment tools to determine
   effectiveness of their DEI initiatives; and
   -

   have the tools to construct a process to establish and/or extend
   collaboration with other campus constituencies on DEI activities.

Who should attend?

Anyone who wants to make library collections and spaces more inclusive and
to educate and encourage library staff on the importance of diversity,
equity and inclusion.
