Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
While the Browsing Collection consists of many current best-selling publications, a move to increase the number of books by underrepresented authors began in earnest in 2020. The Schuler Books approval plan was modified in to include a larger number of works by BIPOC authors, for both fiction and non-fiction titles. The inclusion of a more diverse set of authors and topics is aimed at building a more inclusive collection that better reflects the users of the collection and their interests.
