11:45 Baker and Taylor
Healthy communities need access to inclusive library collections where people can find material that lets them see a reflection of themselves, offer a window to the world around them, and celebrate the differences that drive cultural, economic and social innovation. Yet creating and managing a collection that encompasses the wealth of human experiences can be complex and time consuming. According to ALA’s State of Libraries Special Report-COVID19 edition, most libraries are “Overrepresented in challenges, and underrepresented on the shelves”. This was Baker & Taylors motivation behind creating tools to help libraries evaluate existing collections, suggest future development using a data-driven approach, help communicate a library’s diverse collection to its stakeholders, and make it discoverable by its community and patrons. Please join Sammy Khurkur as they share how Baker & Taylor can work with you to make this a reality at your library!
