The UNLV Libraries reiterates our commitment to our core values as articulated in our Mission, Vision, and Values. At a time when many are questioning diversity efforts and dismantling initiatives that seek to create an equitable society, the Libraries reaffirms our commitment to inclusion and equity. We are leaning into our efforts to create collections, services, and spaces that reflect our amazing diverse community. Our students – current, future, and past – should see themselves reflected in our collections and personnel, while also feeling safe and supported in our virtual and physical spaces. Diversity in action celebrates individuals from all backgrounds, including race, beliefs, national origin, experiences, education, and ability. This is an honorable value and a fact of life that, when embraced, advances both individuals and our community.
The Libraries demonstrate our commitment to diversity by embedding these values into our daily work and weaving equity and inclusion into every aspect of our organization. We are committed to making continual progress toward our vision, while steadfastly upholding these values.
