Call for Lightning Round Talks: Library Marketing and DEI Initiatives
ACRL National – Library Marketing and Outreach Discussion Group (LMODG)- Greater NYC Meetup
Summer 2024 Virtual Meeting
Friday August 16, 2024 via Zoom (3pm-4:30pm eastern time)
Submission form —– > https://form.jotform.com/220584589715164
Deadline: July 8, 2024
Incorporating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) into your library marketing and outreach activities involves creating a welcoming space with inclusive programming, exhibits, and collections. Addressing DEI in your strategic plan helps foster a sense of belonging, and promotes the diversity of your library users.
For our Summer 2024 meeting, we are seeking lightning round presentations that share how your library promotes inclusivity and incorporates DEI practices into your marketing. What marketing or outreach activities have been developed that create a more equitable experience for your users? How does your library bring its services and collections to specific communities through outreach? How have you used market research to develop more inclusive spaces or services in your library?
