Questions Related to Systems or Institutional Issues to Consider when Reviewing Materials for Acquisitions or Weeding
- In what ways do our collection building systems reproduce and reinforce white domination in the academy? Are we resistant to try alternative modes of collection building, which may indicate White entitlement?
- Since low usage of diverse materials can reflect white ascendancy in the curriculum, how might we go beyond weeding criteria that rely on circulation?
- Are we committed to engaging with anti-racist work in other areas of the academy that impact our collections, such as hiring, promotion, and culture?
