Request 101003883216

I am a PhD researcher at the University of Glasgow. My research focuses on assessment and evaluation of public library services in Scotland. I would like to know:

1.  Between 1 January 2016 - 31 December 2024, were there any documents or assessment tools (i.e., EDI policies or strategic plans) outlining the criteria and evaluation of public library services in relation to equality, diversity, and inclusion goals?

2.  If yes, please include copies of any documentation in your response.

3.  Has the library service undertaken any assessment or research activities targeting non-users or underserved communities any time between 1 January 2016 - 31 December 2024?

4.  If yes, please provide documentation, including consultation reports and summaries, in your response.
