“We know that many academic libraries are not always recognized fortheir dedication to diversity, inclusion, and access” says Lenore Pearlstein, owner and publisher of Insight Into Diversity magazine. “We are proud to honor these college and university libraries as role models for other institutions of higher education.” A call for nominations for this award was announced in October 2023.
