Traditionally, reading lists often contain material from ‘Northern’ academic publishers. Consider using literature published in the physical area you’re studying. For example, if you're researching Maori traditions we could source publications from Polynesia.
The Library can also provide access to publisher catalogues and make recommendations to help you represent diverse perspectives and authors in your reading list. This will lead to a more inclusive learning experience for students.
Below we have outlined some questions to consider when adding items to a Library List. Among these are questions regarding places of publication and alternative titles and creators.

Subject Librarians can offer support in developing students’ skills to find more diverse sources during a literature searching workshop for your students.
