Kyoto University Library Network

Katsura Library has made the new collection "Diversity & Inclusion Books." (abbr. D&I Books)

"Diversity" means being composed of different races, genders, career backgrounds, skills, etc.
And "inclusion" is the practice of providing everyone with equal access to opportunities and resources. 

"Diversity & Inclusion Books" is the collection about gender gap, gender equality, human rights, mental health, and so on.
Let's deepen your knowledge of these social issues!
