Part of the extensive Midwinter programming from ALCTS, this symposium examines the critical roles of equity, diversity, and inclusion in today?s libraries. Equity, diversity, and inclusion are important concepts for libraries and librarians as the nation?s population becomes more diverse, inclusiveness more essential, and access to information critical. Nowhere in the library are these concepts so pressing as in library collections. The ability of libraries to represent a more diverse clientele, provide the equity of access needed to their collections, and include all is tantamount.
