OhioLINK's e-book collection focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Content provided through ProQuest Ebook Central. Most books were published after 2017.
Purpose Statement: OhioLINK recognizes that the concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion are an essential part of the consortium’s vision, commitment, and values. This collection is intended to be the first step towards developing a foundational understanding of these concepts, and is by no means comprehensive. We acknowledge the existence of perspectives outside of those reflected by this collection. When possible, materials for this collection have been selected based on their representation of authors’ lived experiences, relevance to current events (particularly materials published within the last three years), intersectional approaches, or contribution to fundamental knowledge of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our intention is to create a growing collection which highlights the voices and experiences of underrepresented or marginalized identities, so that they may continue to inspire dialogue, action, and change. Our hope is that this collection offers OhioLINK members the tools to foster diverse communities, examine inequitable systems, and develop inclusive practices for teaching, learning, and research support.
