Evaluating library policies from the perspective of equity

Feedback form is now closed.

Equity in our libraries is vital, but how do policies in our libraries contribute to, or inadvertently, undermine that objective. Come listen to our panel of librarians and library administrators candidly discuss what their libraries are doing in areas such as removing fines for overdue books, redacting names from CVs before they are seen by search committees, and reviewing employee handbooks to ensure policies and procedures are part of the solution and not the problem.

Learning objectives:
Identify tangible actions your library can take to support equity.
Understand the importance of building equity into policies and procedures.
View policies and procedures through an equity lens.
