Spending time in your collection doing a diversity audit can yield valuable information in your collection development work.  In a recent Teen Librarian Toolbox post, Karen Jensen has written a thoughtful piece with practical tips on why and how to do a diversity audit as well as links to other posts TLT has done on the subject.

She writes: "In a nutshell: A collection diversity audit is kind of like doing an inventory and using the data that you get to determine how diverse your library collections are.
