Hello. My name is rob Entwistle and today I'm going
- 00:04 - 00:06
to talk to you about philosophy of diversity.
- 00:09 - 00:12
Libraries should represent the people they serve and allow for
- 00:12 - 00:16
a global view, intellectual freedom.
- 00:17 - 00:20
The essence of equitable library services provides for free access
- 00:21 - 00:25
to varying expressions of ideas through which a question cause
- 00:26 - 00:27
or movement may be explored.
- 00:28 - 00:32
Yeah. Everyone should be able to find themselves in the
- 00:32 - 00:36
materials made available in the stacks.
- 00:39 - 00:45
Also through technology we are creating a world so that
- 00:45 - 00:47
students may explore many worlds.
- 00:50 - 00:56
Thanks to consider the background of the community content provided
- 00:56 - 01:00
by all groups of people that represents all groups of
- 01:00 - 01:03
people, no matter ethnic background, race, ability or beliefs.
- 01:07 - 01:08
Let's talk about space.
- 01:12 - 01:13
The libraries should be comfortable for patrons.
- 01:16 - 01:19
Shell should allow for enough space to easily move through.
- 01:25 - 01:27
Collections should be labeled clearly.
- 01:33 - 01:36
There should be a workspace provided with tables for students
- 01:36 - 01:37
to study and work on projects.
- 01:43 - 01:45
Access to technology as well as print.
- 01:46 - 01:48
Students need to learn to navigate all formats.
- 01:51 - 01:56
Yeah. Yeah.
- 01:58 - 02:01
Technology allows for library access wherever there is.
- 02:01 - 02:03
Internet. This makes your website important.
- 02:04 - 02:08
It also allows for more options with the books.
- 02:10 - 02:13
Different things you can do while reading like answering questions,
- 02:16 - 02:19
notation. Wide range of things you can do with an
- 02:19 - 02:25
e book that you cannot do without getting fined very
- 02:25 - 02:25
physical copy.
- 02:26 - 02:33
Yeah. The collection the collection should represent everyone having a
- 02:33 - 02:40
salad developmental plan will help achieve this collaboration with students
- 02:40 - 02:42
and staff is a great way to understand their needs.
- 02:46 - 02:49
The digital collection should parallel the physical collection.
- 02:54 - 03:05
Yeah. Policy transparency is key when it comes to policy
- 03:06 - 03:14
and procedures, patrons should be aware of weeding procedures as
- 03:14 - 03:17
well as selection and the selection practices.
- 03:18 - 03:22
This will help with any misunderstandings of why certain books
- 03:24 - 03:25
are being weeded or d selected.
- 03:32 - 03:35
Return carts and boxes should be close to the entrance
- 03:36 - 03:40
and be clearly marked so that people can return their
- 03:40 - 03:44
books as soon as they walk in to the library.
- 03:46 - 03:52
Yeah, fines will apply to damage and loss material as
- 03:52 - 03:53
well as extremely late items.
- 03:55 - 04:09
Yeah. Libraries are the keepers of information they provide the
- 04:09 - 04:14
tools to help students gain understanding of the world they
- 04:14 - 04:21
inherit. Therefore, libraries must offer materials that represent all aspects
- 04:22 - 04:22
of the world.
- 04:26 - 04:29
They must allow for information to be easily accessible to
- 04:30 - 04:47
everyone. Information about inclusion, diversity collections All came from the
- 04:47 - 04:49
American Library Association website.
- 04:50 - 04:50
Thank you.
