One of the core philosophies of libraries is that we should be open to all. How well do libraries serve diverse populations?
This guide:
Three questions:
1).What are the populations libraries serve?
2). How do we make the library a welcoming place for all the populations we serve?
3). How can the library facilitate discussions on the inclusive library?
Please contact us (e-mails at left) if you have any questions, or would like more information.
1. Diversity issues in libraries (recruitment, outreach, library instruction, collection development)
2. Communication & conflict resolution
3. Planning, assessing, and implementing programs and services centered on diversity
