Diversity and Inclusion at LSU Libraries

LSU Libraries celebrates diversity and is deeply committed to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone thrives.LSU Libraries offers a safe and supportive environment for the entire LSU community. We acknowledge that libraries have historically failed to appreciate the diversity that makes our society strong, and we work to move beyond these shortcomings.

We advance the university’s diversity efforts through:

(1) recruiting and retaining employees from a wide variety of backgrounds,

(2) providing a safe and welcoming environment for all, and

(3) enhancing our collection and description practices to represent the whole of Louisiana.
