DEI e-book collection

In 2021, the State Library of Ohio awarded American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to OhioLINK for the purchase of a shared collection of unlimited-user, perpetual-access Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) e-books. 

A project team of OhioLINK member librarians selected 163 e-books in total to form the collection. The Phase 2 set of 81 additional titles is now available in the ProQuest Ebook Central platform.

About the ARPA Collection 

"This collection allows all OhioLINK member libraries to have access to a base e-book collection in this important and under-resourced area for learning and research. These e-books also could be used as teaching materials to introduce students to a diversity of voices that otherwise might not be available to them." -  OhioLINK, 12/27/23
