Our EDI guide was inspired by a student’s suggestion, and aims to highlight and curate useful information resources relating to EDI themes, such as those listed in the University’s EDI priorities, and provide easy access to them in one place. We hope it will promote awareness and discussion, broaden horizons, and challenge us all. It highlights information resources of all types, within and beyond the Library; including books, social media, films, archives, and much more.

We’re pleased to say we have now published resources and reading lists for all the guide themes, with age equality, disability equality and social mobility being the most recent sections.
Our guide will always be a work in progress, and we would welcome your suggestions for resources we should include. You can contribute by suggesting a resource, asking us to buy a book, or giving feedback: whether it’s a reading list rating or a short review.

We’ll be highlighting key resources throughout the year to tie in with campaigns such as Black History Month and Pride, and we’ll also be developing a toolkit to help support curriculum diversity initiatives later this year.
