	3. Collection Update for Currency Project We are embarking on a multi-year project to update our collection. We're excited about how this project will serve students with a more accurate print collection and facilitate our collection goals to support diversity, equity, and inclusion. Learn more on our project guide.
	4. Library E/D/I initiatives Although the library profession has along history of enforcing white supremacy, the last two years have seen a massive uptick in awareness and efforts to do right. The Vogel Library permanent staff and student workers are together doing the work of examining our policies, procedures, spaces, and ourselves for systemic inequity and bias. This work is summarized here.
	5. Surveys of the (previous) Months: Faculty survey for multi-purpose databases: Brief 4-topic survey on how you use the multipurpose databases. Faculty survey for books: Brief 3-question survey on the importance of books to your discipline. Although we have already begun analyzing the responses to both surveys, we still check for additional feedback.

That's all for now! Head over to the FAQ page if you have any questions.

Until next time...
