Skip to main navigation EBSCO, research databases, ebooks, discovery service Contact us About EBSCO Diversity, Equity & Inclusion We are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion as guiding principles that build our teams, cultivate our leaders and move our business forward. We strive to uphold and improve these principles not only within our organization, but in the content we provide and in how we support our customers. Together We Are EBSCO Our employees come from different backgrounds with unique experiences and beliefs. It is these differences that shape who we are both individually and collectively as a company. Our differences help push us forward, make us better individuals and make us stronger as an organization. We listen and seek to understand one another and strive to connect genuinely. Our goal is to continuously work toward becoming more diverse, equitable and inclusive, as we believe the collective voices and actions of our employees will foster a better culture and future. And we know that by attracting diverse talent and securing an inclusive workplace culture, we will continue to grow as individuals and as a business. Learn more about our culture, including our corporate citizenship and participation in the library community.

These include sponsorship of the Association of Research Library’s Kaleidoscope Diversity Scholars program as well as its Leadership Fellows Program which integrates “diversity, equity, and inclusion principles and perspectives throughout the curriculum.” EBSCO also supports individual librarians by providing scholarships to attend conferences such as the American Library Association’s Annual Conference and The Joint Conference of Librarians of Color which is sponsored by five associations of ethnic librarians.
