65 SPEC Kit 356: Diversity and Inclusion
UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO AT BOULDER LIBRARIES
Inclusive Excellence Plan for the University Libraries
modify our spaces to address the evolving needs of our students. Our libraries provide safe,
welcoming, and respectful environments for all students and the campus community.
Providing scholarly resources involves the thoughtful and deliberate work of the University
Libraries to enable access and discovery of information to broad and diverse student
populations. Supporting and promoting a campuswide Open Access policy, standardizing the
purchase of DVDs to include closed captioning, and proposing new subject headings to the
Library of Congress to further discovery of distinctive materials are examples that demonstrate
the comprehensive effort the University Libraries take to enhance access and discovery of
information in an inclusive manner.
