Abstract

Many academic libraries are exploring how to rectify the historical and ongoing exclusion of works by and about marginalized communities in library collections. Although some libraries have committed to changing their practices to reflect their values, few libraries publicly share Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) policies specific to collection development. Moreover, existing policies fail to articulate goals and values specific to institutional context and collections. In spring 2023, Western Washington University Libraries formed a working group to conduct an environmental scan and explore how other libraries are operationalizing equity, diversity, and inclusion in their collection development practices. This paper summarizes the findings of that environmental scan and provides recommendations for libraries beginning this work. To successfully operationalize their values and initiate meaningful change, libraries should articulate institution-specific collection development objectives, embed them in existing collections procedures, and regularly assess progress.

对藏品开发中的公平、多样性和包容性做法进行环境扫描
许多学术图书馆都在探索如何纠正图书馆藏书中排斥边缘化群体作品的历史和现状。尽管一些图书馆已承诺改变其做法以反映其价值观,但很少有图书馆公开分享专门针对馆藏发展的 "公平、多样性和包容性(EDI)"政策。此外,现有的政策也未能阐明与机构背景和馆藏具体相关的目标和价值观。2023 年春,西华盛顿大学图书馆成立了一个工作小组来进行环境扫描,探索其他图书馆是如何在馆藏开发实践中实现公平、多样性和包容性的。本文总结了环境扫描的结果,并为开始这项工作的图书馆提供了建议。为了成功实现其价值观并发起有意义的变革,图书馆应明确提出本机构的馆藏开发目 标,将其纳入现有的馆藏程序,并定期评估进展情况。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Academic Librarianship, an international and refereed journal, publishes articles that focus on problems and issues germane to college and university libraries. JAL provides a forum for authors to present research findings and, where applicable, their practical applications and significance; analyze policies, practices, issues, and trends; speculate about the future of academic librarianship; present analytical bibliographic essays and philosophical treatises. JAL also brings to the attention of its readers information about hundreds of new and recently published books in library and information science, management, scholarly communication, and higher education. JAL, in addition, covers management and discipline-based software and information policy developments.
