Abstract The areas of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) have become increasingly important in recent years within businesses, colleges, and libraries. In response to this development, this article reports on an assessment of the workplace DEI coverage in an academic library monograph collection. A sample of books on the topic, retrieved through a WorldCat search, was analyzed and compared with the library’s holdings. The authors discovered gaps in the library’s workplace DEI coverage and identified contributing factors. The authors selected and reviewed great books on DEI in the workplace to add to the library’s collection and recommend to students and faculty.

The aim of the research was to examine changes in the usage patterns of public library collections during the COVID pandemic. Usage data for e-loans (e-books and e-audio books) and physical loans from two library networks in Sydney (Australia) for 2019–2021 was analyzed. While the use of physical collections dropped to less than half, the use of electronic collections increased by almost as much. E-loans peaked, and physical loans plummeted during lockdowns. However, the increase of e-loans was very small in terms of absolute volume (about a 44 k increase) compared to the decline in physical loans (about half a million decrease), and the use of physical collections did not reach pre-pandemic levels during the period studied. The analysis of subjects and genres of loaned items indicates that users were generally keen to continue reading the sorts of material they had been reading prior to the pandemic, even if this meant switching format, although there were some changes in genre and subject preferences during the lockdowns, which might have been influenced by the circumstances of the individual users. Readers appeared to show particular interest in various nonfiction topics in the initial lockdown (early 2020), with more practical considerations holding sway at this stage of the pandemic, whereas, by the time of the second lockdown (mid-2021), these considerations had been resolved to some extent, and been overtaken by a more "escapist,” or at least a more recreational, attitude on the part of the average user.

该研究的目的是研究新冠疫情期间公共图书馆馆藏使用模式的变化。分析了2019-2021年澳大利亚悉尼两个图书馆网络的电子借阅(电子书和电子有声书)和实体借阅的使用数据。虽然实体馆藏的使用下降到不到一半，但电子馆藏的使用几乎增加了一半。在封城期间，电子贷款达到顶峰，实体贷款暴跌。然而，与实物贷款的减少(减少约50万件)相比，电子贷款的绝对数量(增加约44万件)的增加非常小，而且在研究期间，实物馆藏的使用没有达到大流行前的水平。对借阅资料的主题和类型的分析表明，用户普遍热衷于继续阅读他们在疫情前阅读的材料类型，即使这意味着要转换格式，尽管在封锁期间，类型和主题偏好发生了一些变化，这可能受到个人用户环境的影响。在最初的封锁期间(2020年初)，读者似乎对各种非小说类话题表现出特别的兴趣，在疫情的这个阶段，更多的实际考虑占据了主导地位，而在第二次封锁期间(2021年年中)，这些考虑在某种程度上已经得到了解决，取而代之的是一种更“逃避现实”的态度，或者至少是普通用户更娱乐的态度。收藏管理的版权是Taylor & Francis Ltd的财产，未经版权所有者的明确书面许可，其内容不得复制或通过电子邮件发送到多个网站或发布到listserv。但是，用户可以打印、下载或通过电子邮件发送文章供个人使用。这可以删节。对副本的准确性不作任何保证。用户应参阅原始出版版本的材料的完整。(版权适用于所有人。)

Abstract This study examines the availability of LGBTQ Spanish language nonfiction books among selected university libraries along the United States–Mexico border to measure access to materials for readers and researchers and identify what resources selectors might use to inform purchases. This study utilizes 37 titles and seven libraries for a comparison of holdings. It seeks to expand the body of knowledge available regarding LGBTQ literature while establishing a baseline regarding the availability of LGBTQ Spanish-language materials in academic libraries.

Abstract This article will compare results from two surveys sent to the university libraries at Valdosta State University and Florida State University. The initial survey in 2016, asked patrons to describe their format preferences when looking for library materials and indicate if their format preferences changed when looking for pleasure reading or academic research. When the COVID-19 pandemic forced people out of physical libraries and onto online libraries visited from home, two of the authors wondered how this would change a patron’s preference regarding electronic formats, leading to a second survey in 2022. The conclusion gives insight on how this information should impact collection development policies in the future.

Abstract This article considers the distinct challenges that works of art pose for those managing non-art specialist research libraries across the United Kingdom. Using analysis of survey and case-study interview data, the article demonstrates that current approaches to the management of art in non-art specialist research libraries are uneven in such key areas as collection management; cataloguing; storage and access; and librarianship and training. This article seeks to build consensus on best practices with respect to the management of art in libraries and proposes practical recommendations for libraries seeking to improve the care and use of the art in their collections.

Abstract This case study reports on critical aspects of utilizing over one million dollars in emergency funding during a two-year library closure. It also discusses the impact of federal emergency funding on the operations of an academic library during the COVID-19 pandemic and the implications for including financial priorities in disaster preparedness plans. Little research exists regarding libraries’ response to emergency funding. One of the advantages of examining the impact of the pandemic on library responses is the ability to create a plan for future disasters and emergency funding for collection development.

Abstract Limited budgets and the desire to address patrons’ immediate resource needs require libraries to consider an agile approach to collection building. To identify where typical purchases could be avoided in English subject areas, Texas A&M University Libraries piloted a purchase on demand (POD) solution for print and e-books. By providing patrons with options to make catalog selections and analyzing those decisions, a clearer understanding of subject resources needed was achieved. Findings were used to better align the approval plan’s automated purchases with patrons’ curricular and research needs, while realizing significant cost savings. The study fills a literature gap, and the approach can serve as a model for any discipline.

Abstract In 2020 the University of Kansas Libraries began a year-long diversity audit of the circulating monograph collection. The study, which utilized the checklist method evaluated the Libraries’ holdings based on a curated list of award winning and nominated titles. In addition to determining if specific titles were part of the collection, the study also sought to learn how these books were acquired. The study found that the library owned 60% of the 6,671 titles checked and of those with a known acquisitions method, 59% came via an approval plan. Titles and publishers not profiled by GOBI were significantly less likely to be in the collection as they were not included in the approval plan or highlighted by a slip notification. The Libraries’ reliance on GOBI and efficient and streamlined selection and acquisition processes has resulted in a less diverse collection.
