Hi Everyone,
This is an invitation to participate in a survey on the types of DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) activities that have been implemented at GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) organizations. We encourage employees at all levels in any of these types of institutions to fill it out.
The survey is being conducted by the GLAM Diversity subgroup of the DLF (Digital Library Federation) Committee on Equity and Inclusion. This study is part of the subgroup's efforts to identify resources and activities that have been helpful in supporting DEI efforts across GLAM organizations. We define DEI activities as: efforts to address issues of anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion across all the organization's activities.
We are interested in learning about DEI activities across your GLAM organization (and if applicable, the larger institution that it may support), as well as activities that might be taking place within individual departments or functional areas within your GLAM organization (e.g., metadata or cataloging department, etc.). The Committee will analyze responses from all participants to identify what types of DEI efforts are being undertaken, and how effective respondents believe those efforts to be. Our goal is to provide a synthetic snapshot to the general community to help us collectively understand where we are making progress and where we need to do better.
For your convenience, the survey questions are attached to this email if you would like to review them in advance of beginning the survey itself. You will be able to pause the survey and return at a later point in time as long as you use the same browser.
Thank you for your time!
