FY21 Annual Report on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Abstract

Fiscal Year 2021 was a challenging year due to the COVID‐19 pandemic and nationwide unrest. The University Library continued to operate with most staff working remotely for much of the year due to campus closure, with a small core of essential staff working onsite to maintain services such as library material access for the ISU community and our Interlibrary Loan patrons. During this unstable time, the University Library continued to provide DEI professional development learning opportunities to library staff, ISU community, and our national and global partners through our programming, services, and guides. Below is a summary of initiatives, achievements, and outcomes by Library staff in FY21.
