Abstract Information about the LGBTQIA population is difficult to collect because of the sensitive nature of the topic of sexual preference and gender identity. This paper examines our weeding project and collection development efforts to provide health care information for the LGBTQIA community at a Midwestern metropolitan university. The findings conclude that our collection was not providing sufficient, up-to-date health information for the personal and professional information needs of our patrons in the R-RZ Library of Congress range. The weeding process, strategies for working with department faculty, and the implications for an intersectional medical collection are discussed.

LGBTQIA-R：在一所公立城市大学创建多元化和包容性的医学收藏

摘要 由于性偏好和性别认同话题的敏感性，关于 LGBTQIA 人群的信息很难收集。本文考察了我们为中西部城市大学的 LGBTQIA 社区提供医疗保健信息的除草项目和馆藏开发工作。调查结果得出结论，我们的馆藏没有为 R-RZ 国会图书馆范围内我们的顾客的个人和专业信息需求提供足够的、最新的健康信息。讨论了除草过程、与部门教员合作的策略以及对交叉医学收藏的影响。
