Process for Identifying Local Data Points
Start at the campus level to see what social justice efforts might already be underway or how social justice fits into the mission and vision of your university.
Look for pathways between places where social justice efforts are being enacted and places where assessment work is operationally situated at your library.
Partner with colleagues invested in social justice work to build social justice metrics into their existing assessment practices.

8. Conclusion of the Community Conversations

Conclusion of the Community Conversations
Consensus that social justice metrics are possible to identify and articulate.
Interest in and enthusiasm for doing so.
A more formal (and funded) process is needed to attain the envisioned social justice metrics framework.
