The Diversity and Social Justice Collection at the Lake Washington Institute of Technology
In 2020, the Lake Washington Institute of Technology library, with their DEI department created the Diversity and Social Justice collection. While the initial work of adding books to the collection was finished, there was much left to be done, including writing a collection development policy and creating finding aids to help students find books within the collection. Our team was able to complete these tasks, as well as establishing collection assessment guidelines and performing an assessment. We believe that, not only have we helped advance the college’s DEI goals, we have helped make the library a more accessible place.
