Represent: UNLV Community Selected Collection Pilot

Many thanks to the members of the UNLV Community who suggested content to add to the collection during our first pilot phase. Items have been added to our physical and electronic library based on the preferences noted in the content suggestion. Click on the items below to locate them in our physical library spaces or access them online.

The Represent pilot is supported by the Dean’s Library Circle funding and other general collection endowment funds.

The Represent pilot was launched in April 2023 and content suggestions were collected throughout April from the UNLV Community. The goal of the Represent program is to add content to the Libraries’ collections, selected by the students, staff and faculty of UNLV, that reflects the diversity of UNLV and represents the cultures, histories and lived experiences of the UNLV Community. 

In developing this collection the Libraries goals are to :

• Support UNLV ‘s core values of equity and inclusion
• Aid in a sense of belonging for those who study, work and visit UNLV
• Enable additional selector perspectives into the Libraries’ collecting workflows that will help redress the white euro-centric views that are dominant in the academic literature and thus in the Libraries’  general collections

Suggestions for the collection are now closed but you can review the content added below.
