Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Committee has published its first annual report.
The report covers the year 2023-24. It celebrates the work we've done to promote Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion.
Information Services (ISD) runs Library & IT services at the University. ISD set up its EDI Committee in 2023. It aims to create an inclusive environment for staff and students.
The report covers highlights from our first year, including our efforts to introduce:
- a calendar of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion events
- a cataloguing process for books or other resources when an author has changed their name
- adaptation of Library spaces for neurodiverse staff and students
- a student focus group on library accessibility
- Digital Accessibility Training and several new EDI-focussed training sessions for Library staff

Student Focus Group on Library Accessibility: join the movement!
Are you passionate about making our library more accessible for everyone? We're starting a student focus group on library accessibility, and we need your voice!
The student focus group will meet online and will discuss:
- barriers to library accessibility
- how the library's facilities and services could be made more accessible
We are looking for students with diverse accessibility needs to join our focus group. You can help us continue to champion EDI and create a Library where everyone feels valued. Students who participate in at least one meeting will receive a £20 Love2Shop voucher.
If you’re interested in getting involved, send an email to help@strath.ac.uk with the subject ‘EDI Committee’. You can also find out more about what the Library does to support students with additional needs.
