This guide provides a look into the books available in the NYSID Library's physical collection that center around various diversity issues. Emphasis has been placed on designs and designers related to the U.S., or who practice in a country other than where they are from. Each title and image will lead you right to where to find your book in the NYSID catalog!
This guide is meant to be a living document, growing and changing with the physical collection. Many books are categorized based on their main topic, but many may have multiple diversity elements within. These lists are starting points, and do not reflect the entire collection.
If you have a purchase request that you think will fit in well with either the NYSID collection or this guide, please email reference@nysid.libanswers.com
In addition to our vast physical collection, NYSID users also have access to a large array of digital resources and can utilize materials from other institutions within the NYU Consortium. Check out our Diversity and Inclusion - Resources and References research guide to view a wonderful list and learn more!
