Abstract

In 2021–2022, the Oxford College Library developed a methodology for analyzing new acquisitions to gain a better understanding of the library's purchasing habits. With this assessment, Oxford librarians were able to evaluate their work as collections professionals with a DEI lens. The methodology shown here expands on the diversity audit methodology of other scholars by endeavoring to capture the wide range of perspectives and topics needed in an academic collection, by looking at author demographics and diversity in content coverage. The article argues that these types of analyses can help academic libraries make better purchasing decisions and create more inclusive and diverse collections.
"不是又一次多样性审计":在一家小型学术图书馆进行基于多样性的采购分析
2021-2022 年,牛津大学图书馆制定了一套分析新采购的方法,以更好地了解图书馆的采购习惯。通过这一评估,牛津大学图书馆员能够以 DEI 的视角评估他们作为馆藏专业人员的工作。本文所展示的方法扩展了其他学者的多样性审计方法,通过研究作者人口统计和内容覆盖的多样性,努力捕捉学术馆藏所需的广泛视角和主题。文章认为,这些类型的分析可以帮助学术图书馆做出更好的采购决策,并创建更具包容性和多样性的馆藏。
