Abstract
The Collections Directorate of the MIT Libraries sponsored a task force to identify opportunities
for archives, technical services, preservation, scholarly communication, and collections strategy
staff to manifest the values of diversity, inclusion, and social justice in their daily work. In this report the Collections Directorate Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice (DISJ) task force
describes some of the overarching social and economic contexts for academic libraries, as well
as the core professional values that guide us, and offers recommendations to the Directorate for
operationalizing the values of diversity, inclusion, and social justice. The task force aims to
demonstrate, through our recommendations, how DISJ values might guide every aspect of our
work. We look forward to working together to foster a social justice mindset throughout the MIT
Libraries’ Collections Directorate.
