Webinar hosted by Gold Leaf, sponsored by De Gruyter
Academic institutions worldwide are increasingly embracing the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). As centers of knowledge and information, academic libraries are ideally positioned to promote DEI. But what exactly does DEI entail, and why is it so crucial for libraries today? In this session, we will delve into the practical aspects of DEI and explore actionable steps. Join us to hear from Roxanne Missingham of the Australian National University (ANU) and Jeffrey Carroll from Rutgers University Libraries. They will discuss the pivotal role libraries play in DEI initiatives at their institutions and share their unique perspectives on specific DEI elements.
The webinar is part of a series sponsored by De Gruyter and will be moderated by Linda Bennett of Gold Leaf. Registration is free of charge.
