ALCTS Midwinter Symposium
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion: Creating a New Future for Library Collections
Friday, January 20, 2017 | 8:30 a.m.–4 p.m. | event code ALC1
Equity, diversity and inclusion are ideals librarians espouse. Whether in acquisitions, access, management or preservation, library collections are evolving to support these ideals. Furthering discussions on metadata, open access, and preserving diverse voices in collections are critical as libraries face challenges in a changing society. This symposium explores work underway and what the future brings.
