Best Practices for Inclusive Library Searches

2021 , Vega García, Susan , University Library , University Library

Background: Inclusive searches take into account diversity, equity and inclusion values and implement DEI actions at all stages of the search. In the library environment, we need to address common practices and beliefs1 that may conflict with DEI values and negatively impact search outcomes, and replace these instead with more inclusive practices. Items below are listed in relative order of the search process itself. This Best Practices document should be used in consultation with the “Library Recruitment Process” checklist (linked on the Intranet).

FY20 Annual Report on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

2020-07 , Vega García, Susan , University Library , Library

Fiscal Year 2020 was year two of the University Library’s concerted efforts to address diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues and cultural competence in the workplace through intentional programming, professional development learning opportunities, and policy change. The library is beginning to see evidence of positive organizational change and how library staff view DEI work as part of everyone’s responsibilities. Much of this positive change is due to the library’s strategic decision in May 2018 to create and staff a DEI leadership position at the AD level and charging that position with leadership, policy, and programming responsibilities. Since that time, one of the most important changes that have taken place among library staff is the recognition that DEI work and learning is relevant to all of us and is part of everyone’s responsibilities. In Spring 2019, the Library underlined that shift by implementing a policy change requiring all library staff to report their DEI efforts on annual evaluations. The Library and all of ISU certainly have much more DEI work to address on numerous fronts but the Library is seeing encouraging results. Below is a summary of FY20 initiatives, achievements, and special project outcomes by Library staff in FY20.
