Discover. Analyze. Improve.

Healthy communities need access to inclusive library collections where patrons can find material that lets them see a reflection of themselves and celebrate the differences that drive cultural, economic and social innovation.

Yet creating and managing a collection that encompasses the wealth of human experiences can be complex and time consuming.

Introducing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Analysis

  • Analyze your library’s Fiction and Non-Fiction collections against industry accepted DEI Topics.
  • Monitor the supply of DEI content to identify gaps at a system wide and branch level.
  • Evaluate representation of diverse populations in both print and digital collections.
  • Effectively communicate diversity, equity and inclusion in your collection to stakeholders in your community.

Led by collectionHQ’s global community of library customers

DEI Analysis uses a unique technology that collects information from various industry-respected data sources to identify diverse titles in a library’s collection.

The powerful algorithm that drives DEI Analysis also considers feedback from our global community of library customers to recognize local anomalies and improve the DEI experience for all libraries.
