Would you like to suggest a question to consider when creating approval plans? Please submit you recommendation using our feedback form!
Approval plans are one of the key ways that white supremacy becomes embedded into the process of collection building. These plans often identify subjects, publishers, and formats to automatically purchase or reject. The criteria of our approval plans typically reflect white ways of knowing and privilege white methods of knowledge production, such as the scholarly monograph, peer-review, university presses, academic affiliations, etc. How can we disrupt, expand, reduce our reliance on, or change our approval plans so that we automatically collect diverse forms of knowledge?
