We are excited to announce the EDI-NJ Institutional EDI Assessment launch for New Jersey libraries. This comprehensive tool is designed to support your library’s journey toward creating a more equitable, inclusive, and community-centered institution. In addition to the assessment, we are excited to introduce the Learning Module Series that accompanies the tool. This series is designed to guide you through each step of the process, helping you reflect on your library’s current state, understand community needs, and identify actionable areas for growth.
Key Resources Available:
- EDI-NJ Institutional Assessment Tool: A reflective and strategic tool to assess your library’s EDI efforts across seven core operational areas. (Also available as a PDF
)
- Learning Module Series: A detailed series to help guide you through completing the assessment and turning insights into actionable next steps.
- Scoring Guide
: A clear framework to help you calculate your assessment results.
- Debrief Guide
: A resource to help facilitate team discussions after completing the assessment, so you can identify patterns, gaps, and prioritize areas for growth.
- Feedback Form: A form for gathering insights from your library team on the assessment to help us refine and improve this tool for future use.
These resources are designed to provide clarity, structure, and actionable insights to help your library deepen its commitment to equity and inclusion. We hope these tools support your library in creating and sustaining intentional strategic change.
