“Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in library and archival collections and metadata”

As an important part of a society that should be welcoming to all, libraries and archival institutions have been seeking ways to ensure their collections and metadata reflect the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion. This presentation highlights some examples of initiatives that libraries and archival institutions are undertaking to reach this goal.

Judy Njoroge is the Bibliographic Services Manager at Library Connection, Inc. (LCI)and a Saturday Reference Librarian at Avon Free Public Library. She is also a New England Technical Services Librarians (NETSL) board member. In addition to implementing a DEI project at LCI, Judy has also presented on DEI at both CLA and NETSL conferences.
