For information on upcoming meetings, please go to our Events page. Visit our Blog Diversity in Libraries . To create a welcoming and respectful environment and organizational culture within the library, we must not assume that people who have characteristics different than our own necessarily have the same needs, experiences, and points of view that we do. At the same time, we must not make the assumption that "they" are all the same. Issues of Equity. Valuing Diversity at the Libraries. The Libraries Diversity and Organizational Culture Task Force was charged in March of 2004 to develop a diversity plan.

Valuing Diversity at the Libraries

The Task Force reviewed relevant UW documents and also looked at plans and practices in other universities. In 2004 the Task Force surveyed library staff in order to identify issues of diversity important to the staff and identify areas that need attention or improvement. Survey results showed diversity is important to our staff, and that the most important issue is being able to support our diverse user community effectively (Appendix 1). However, the staff also perceives that the Libraries can do a better job in addressing diversity issues, especially in recruiting a diverse work force and in supporting the needs of our diverse user community.
