Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Analysis

DEI Analysis

Libraries strive to be inclusive spaces where everyone feels welcome and represented. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Analysis is a powerful tool that helps libraries achieve this goal. It provides data-driven insights into the representation of diverse voices and perspectives within library collections.

By analysing your library’s collection against industry-accepted DEI topics, you can:

● Identify Gaps: Uncover areas where certain communities or identities might be under-represented, allowing you to make targeted improvements.

● Make Informed Decisions: Ensure that your collection development budget is used effectively to acquire materials that reflect the diversity of your community.

● Build a More Inclusive Space: Create a collection that not only reflects your community but also provides a “larger window to the world” by showcasing diverse experiences and viewpoints.

collectionHQ’s DEI Analysis offers a comprehensive solution that considers a wide range of DEI topics and is informed by feedback from a global community of library customers. This ensures that the analysis is relevant and tailored to the specific needs of diverse library settings. As demonstrated by the case study of Brent Council Libraries, DEI Analysis empowers libraries to demonstrate their commitment to DEI, make data-driven decisions, and cultivate a truly inclusive environment for all.
