Popis: This paper discusses the various ways in which the practices of libraries and librarians influence the diversity (or lackthereof) of scholarship and information access. We examine some of the cultural biases inherent in both libraryclassification systems and newer forms of information access like Google search algorithms, and propose ways ofrecognizing bias and applying feminist principles in the design of information services for scholars, particularly as librariesreinventthemselves to grapple with digital collections.
