Current digital exhibits highlight the contributions of diverse groups such as women in STEM, Utah’s Japanese American community, and youth activist artists. Library faculty have recently published/presented research on diversity residency programs, tribal outreach and American Indian intellectual property, inclusive subject headings, and meeting diverse student needs through innovative outreach. We have a long tradition of incorporating universal design principles into our physical and virtual spaces.
