Following this thread. I'm assuming the audit is tied to the library's catalog records? Any idea whether the audit credits only the subject area for groups (such as Native Americans) or whether the subject is also linked with the pub. date? Wondering, because a library that has many hits for a subject like Native Americans, but has an older collection ('80s/'90s, primarily non-Native American authors), would not have something we would now consider an acceptable collection, regardless of whether Follett were trying to sell the library more current materials.
Asking because I teach grad.-level library courses including School Media Centers and Diversity in Children's/YA Lit., and my students were wondering the same thing (including whether they should contact Lee & Low for an audit instead; they're a publisher that knows and lives diversity perhaps better than Follett does). And yes, the university I teach at provides teachers to areas that have a substantial percentage of students who identify as part Native American, so we've all become sensitive to this.
