New Bibliography: Digital Library Federation Committee for Equity and Inclusion (DLF CEI) Zotero Resource Library

The Digital Library Federation Committee for Equity and Inclusion (DLF CEI) has published a Zotero resource library supporting greater inclusion and equity in GLAM spaces, as well as individual professional and personal growth. Explore the CEI Zotero Resource Library here.

As equity and inclusion efforts are hindered, if not erased, in the contemporary moment, this library was compiled and updated to offer materials that help sustain this work.  Thank you to the members of the DLF CEI Resources Subgroup and our extended community who contributed and helped make the Library publication-ready!

If you would like to suggest new resources, please complete our Resource Suggestion Form.
