 TeachingBooks’ Collection Analysis Tool, you can take a deeper look at the titles featured in your December displays and booklists. In this workshop, we will collectively analyze a holiday display, then identify new and diverse titles for inclusion. Registrants
 will walk away with a conscientious, informed list of diverse holiday titles, as well as an action plan that details how to implement those titles in their existing collections. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
