Abstract
This paper is based upon the Miles Conrad Lecture presented by Dr. Safiya Umoja Noble at the 2023 NISO Plus conference on February 15, 2023. Through her writing, Speaking, and advocacy, Dr. Noble has drawn attention to the extensive biases and embedded racism that exist in many technologies that are used not only in scholarly research, but also increasingly in the wider community as well. This awareness has led to the beginnings of change in some areas of technology. Dr. Noble stresses that there is much work to be done do moving forward, but hopefully all those in the information community can collaborate to advance the banner of inclusivity in technological applications, particularly as it relates to information search and discovery.
