The document provides instructions for participants on an audio conference call about diversity in libraries. It explains that there will be periodic audio checks but no broadcasting in between, and to wait for the next check if nothing is heard. It provides details on using the chat function to ask questions, calling in to listen by phone, connecting or disconnecting from the audio, and troubleshooting audio issues. The document concludes by listing the presenters and thanking participants for joining.

1. PLEASE NOTE: We will be doing audio checks every few minutes,
but between audio checks we will not be broadcasting. If you do not
hear anything right now, please wait for the next audio check.
