Inclusion Strategy

This forum is intended to showcase voices from underrepresented groups within the library community. Diversity and inclusion are a primary aspect of this project, and the perspectives of individuals from these communities will help ensure that the discussions and research accomplished will end in better outcomes with clearer results. To guarantee diverse views and bring forward an array of ideas, we will invite members from several ethnic caucuses (e.g, BCALA, REFORMA) to participate. Ethnic caucuses have been a cardinal force in advocating for and improving library services and resources for minority groups. We plan to utilize their expertise in supporting and improving library services for people of color to showcase the perspectives of those who are at a higher risk of losing their private information and to conclude with results that will allow us to implement new privacy measures and challenge and improve existing policies that do not meet libraries’ standards.
