An Overview of the Diversity Audit Data Dashboard RACHEL FISCHER
The Purpose Analyze the level of diversity of the topics included in each collection. Identify diverse items that other libraries own, but your library doesn t own.
Topics Analyzed in the Dashboards GEOGRAPHIC SUBJECTS SUBJECT MATTER Geographic subject headings in the bibliographic records. BIPOC subject headings LGBTQIA+ subject headings Categorized by continent. Disabilities/Neurodiversity subject headings Examples: Travel guides History of a region Fiction that takes place in a specific region (only if the heading is included in the record) Religious minorities
Filtering the Filtering the Data Data
Limitations of the Dashboard Automatically tabulates statistics from the subject headings. It does not analyze the ethnicity of characters or authors. Does not include on order records or eContent. List of titles cannot eliminate all editions of the same title.
What you can accomplish Analyze the whole library. Supplement a manual audit. Compare the manual audit to the dashboard as a benchmark. Track improvements over time. Identify titles that will not be dead on arrival. Identify titles that won t require additional cataloging time, because the record already exists in the catalog.
