English abstract

Paying It Back: A Reparations-Informed Collections Purchasing Model This lightning talk outlines a reparations-informed purchasing model pilot program that intentionally redirects funds from large scale corporate distribution services to small, BIPOC-owned bookstores. The pilot is rooted in the belief that BIPOC communities should fiscally benefit from content about them, that BIPOC bookstore owners are content curators whose expertise is currently underutilized by library collection builders, and that there is a critical need to normalize collection purchasing models which prioritize social justice and equity over automation and efficiency. Pilot project structure, challenges, and successes will be discussed and tips to advocate for model adoption at attendee’s home institutions will be provided.
