    "Increasing Diversity in Library Media Collections" panel on Wed. Sept 22 at 1pm ET.


    Join us for this needed discussion on how university libraries can broaden their media collections to reflect more diversity.
    How can university library media collections better reflect diverse perspectives? How has the pandemic changed approaches to acquiring and using new media? How can media creators better inform librarians about new educational content from diverse points of view? We'll discuss these topics and more with our panelists Amber Hayes (ALA) and Eugenia Beh (MIT Libraries). They'll share their insights on current challenges and new opportunities to better reflect the world we live in through media.
