Emory Libraries emphasize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as core values essential to fostering justice within the university community. Committed to being an anti-oppression organization, they leverage their role as knowledge hubs to combat bias and misinformation, while supporting critical thought. Emory Libraries reject the notion of neutrality, which they argue upholds oppressive practices and causes harm, and they strive for inclusivity by prioritizing professional development, cultural humility, and proactive education. Their efforts include providing accessible restrooms, investing in open access initiatives to democratize information, and supporting the Coalition for Diversity and Inclusion in Scholarly Communications (C4DISC). By joining C4DISC, Emory Libraries aim to promote broader engagement, eliminate participation barriers, and respect diverse experiences, thereby striving for a more equitable scholarly communication ecosystem.
