Northeast Ohio Regional Library System
Being intentional and inclusive in the design of your library’s communications, in both physical and digital library spaces, can support and enrich your library’s accessibility, diversity, and equity. The graphics, language, or format selected for communications provide an opportunity to create more welcoming spaces which reflect and represent your community’s diversity, including—but not limited to—race, gender, or neurodiversity. Explore the importance of inclusion and representation in design and take a fresh look at how your library’s signage, marketing materials, and online communication can contribute to a sense of belonging for all.
Learning Objectives:
- Define the concept of neurodiversity and recommend strategies for improving web presence to support inclusivity,
- Explore the importance of representation in design and consider options for including diverse representation,
- Consider the impact language can have on both online and in-person communication and propose tools for improvement.
