Questions for Individuals to Consider when Reviewing Materials for Acquisitions or Weeding
- How are we taking race and Whiteness into account explicitly in my weeding or acquisitions criteria?
- How will historically under-collected material be cataloged and classified in the collection?
- Are there ways that we can feature this material in displays, exhibitions, etc. while avoiding tokenism?
- Does a book by an underrepresented individual or on a marginalized topic have low usage data because of difficulty in discoverability? Are we relying on usage data too extensively when making weeding decisions?
