Libraries' Commitment
The University Libraries supports the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s (UNL) core values, beliefs, and commitment to inclusive excellence. We are committed to antiracism and seeking a path to racial equity. We are taking active steps towards inclusive excellence by deeply integrating diversity, equity, inclusion, and access in all our everyday work. We weave this commitment through the overarching goals set forth in the Libraries Strategic Plan for 2020-2022.
