This SAGE Exchange lunch-and-learn session is a space for open dialogue around the seen and unseen components of diversity and how to best incorporate those into organizational culture, best practices, and policies. Attendees are expected to actively participate.

Learning Outcomes:

• Build awareness around the need for a fluid and nuanced approach to inclusion
• Empower attendees to share their experiences and perspectives on bias, diversity, and inclusion without fear of judgement
• Inspire attendees to continue these challenging and candid conversations with their colleagues

Session sponsored by SAGE Publishing 

Please join SAGE Publishing for a focus group at ER&L. In this focus group, we’d like to get your feedback on SAGE overall and a potential new product focused on technology in the library. For your time, we are offering a $25 gift card for Amazon.

Supporting OA collections in the open: community requirements and principles is an IMLS-supported project that will convene a series of national forums where community members will contribute their needs, values, and priorities to the discussion of Open Access collection development, elucidating the areas of opportunity and friction and leading to a common vocabulary and framework to discuss collective funding of public goods content.

Through thoughtful moderation that will leverage the insights and interactions of focus group participants, the project team will develop a white paper that clearly articulates the challenges, opportunities, and potential mechanisms for building an OA collection development system and culture and that motivates the community toward collective action.

2 focus groups will take place at ER&L 2019 to support this project.
