Background
Minitex staff conducted a review of ELM resources in 2023 to analyze the representation of diverse perspectives and peoples of Minnesota within the collection. Many lessons were learned along the way, and the information gathered will inform goals for the next review and renewal of the resources included in the ELM collection. The process and findings for this work are described in the slides, data visualizations, and title lists on this page.

- A DEIA Look at a Statewide Online Library Database Collection: Process, Results, and Recommendations
In today's increasingly interconnected and diverse world, the need for readily accessible information representing a multitude of perspectives and voices has become more critical than ever. This white paper argues that database providers have a responsibility to actively integrate more diverse content into their aggregated databases from various backgrounds, disciplines, and geographic regions. By doing so, they can ensure their platforms remain relevant and valuable for a wider audience, contribute to a more inclusive information landscape, and empower individuals to engage with a richer range of perspectives.
