In this poster session, the presenters will share their Library’s progress toward uncovering, understanding and addressing organizational efforts in Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) through the implementation of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Self-Assessment Audit (DEISAA) developed by Dr. Kawana Bright and Nikhat J. Ghouse. The presenters will discuss the audit process including identifying the key roles and responsibilities of the Library’s Diversity & Inclusion Committee, establishing a communication strategy, and sharing the results with library personnel and other campus stakeholders. The session will conclude with a discussion of the Library’s current efforts working with campus partners to identify actionable steps to address the recommendations from the audit including cultivating an organizational culture that values the importance of operationalizing DEIA work in the Library, and strategizing to develop an attainable, sustainable and transparent DEIA Action Plan to guide the library toward progressive growth and success.
