Libraries and publishers are taking notice of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion metrics in all parts of their workflow and supply chain. The demand from faculty and students for diverse curricula and collections require the resources and skills of critical librarianship. Publishers are looking at their authors, reviewers, and staff demographics, establishing benchmarks and strategic plans towards demonstrable action. It is crucial that both consider the possibilities of data-driven solutions to provide measurable evidence to inform decision making at scale; as well as understand the limitations and possibly unintended implications of doing so. Learn about some of the data-driven initiatives underway: What questions to ask? Where to start? What are the risks? And how to chart a path forward for meaningful change. Join moderator Lori Carlin and our panelists to discuss data driven initiatives and analyses at local and global scale.
