Reading the Rainbow: Evaluating the Collection of the Gender and Sexuality Center’s Ana Sisnett Library

The Gender and Sexuality Center is home to the Ana Sisnett Library and has a large collection of books, magazines, zines, and DVDs. The goal of this project was to evaluate the current selection, cataloging and deselection methods of the library, and recommended practices that streamline collection processes and increase the library’s ability to meet the needs of its patrons. Through research, meetings with stakeholders and focus groups I was able to create a short and long term collection development plan. I also performed cataloging updates and created a new primer focusing on disabilities in the LGBTQ+ community.
