Abstract Academic library collections have been built and shaped by a focus on dominant voices and perspectives. In order for collections to reflect the value librarianship places on diversity as well as represent multiple perspectives and serve users of diverse backgrounds and identities, collections need to be assessed for coverage of content related to diversity. This article discusses the challenges inherent in engaging in such an assessment, discusses collection assessment methods, and describes an analysis performed on the Penn State University Libraries collections focused on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer content.

馆藏中的代表：评估学术图书馆馆藏中 LGBTQ 内容的覆盖率

摘要 学术图书馆馆藏是通过关注主流声音和观点而建立和塑造的。为了使馆藏反映图书馆对多样性的重视并代表多种观点并为不同背景和身份的用户提供服务，需要评估馆藏与多样性相关内容的覆盖面。本文讨论了参与此类评估所固有的挑战，讨论了馆藏评估方法，并描述了对宾夕法尼亚州立大学图书馆馆藏进行的分析，重点是女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者和酷儿内容。
