[aisle] Guidance on performing EDI audit on library collection and/or text selection/review across academic departments

[Joan Bessman Taylor]

This video about conducting a Diversity Audit using Titlewave may be
helpful to some. I honestly haven't viewed it in its entirety but it is
from the Department of Library Media Services at the School District of
Palm Beach County - found online. Running time = 31:06.
