crl-25873	Jones, Sarah R.; Lapworth, Emily; Kim, Tammi	Assessing Diversity in Special Collections and Archives	2023	22	.pdf	application/pdf	9873	387	34	Regardless of the assessment method used, the authors emphasized that “without a shared vision and plan for diversity collections in place, differing opinions on how to increase the number of diversity-related materials in the collection may lead to libraries missing the mark when building collections” and institutions risk not building truly diverse collections due to chaotic or ill-aligned collecting policies and vague value statements.11 Increasing diversity in archives and special collections also requires a thoughtful and deliberate approach to collecting. The 2015–2017 strategic plan was structured to align with UNLV’s Top Tier goals, which listed an increased use and online availability of “unique, regional content” as key measures of success under research, scholarship, and creative activity.25 Beginning in 2015, SCA created a framework for ensuring that the division meets the goals of the Libraries’ strategic plan, such as collecting materials on specific communities and topics, building community partnerships, increasing access to diverse collections, and creating inclusive descriptions.	cache/crl-25873.pdf	txt/crl-25873.txt
