Diversity and Inclusion
All Are Welcome
Advancing Diversity and Inclusion in Libraries
The library’s strategic plan centers on creating and maintaining an environment that enables library users of all backgrounds and abilities to feel welcome and do their best work. We support broader participation in the library profession. We work to diversify the voices and perspectives represented within our collections.
Elevating All Voices and Scholarship
The library strives to develop services, outreach and collections that reflect the diverse experiences of our campus community, the region and the world. We partner with other university departments to ensure that all members of our campus community have an opportunity to see themselves reflected in our collections, exhibits, events, and instruction.
Learning from the Past
The UC Davis Library stands as a witness and recorder of history, and endeavors to eliminate barriers, bias and systematic inequality through its services and resources. We invite you to explore our resources, collections and book recommendations. We believe it is important to document, study and learn from all pieces of the past so that we can take actions to create a more just and equitable future.
Diversifying the Library Profession
Diversity Residency Program
To advance diversity and equal opportunity in the library profession, we offer a two-year residency to provide mentorship and experience to individuals with the potential for leadership in addressing the barriers that have prevented individuals from traditionally underrepresented ethnic or racial minority groups, gender or gender identities, or physical or cognitive abilities from full participation in careers in academic librarianship.
