Serving the Whole Community: Multilingual Access in Public Libraries
ALCTS Program at the 2008 Annual Conference
Serving the Whole Community:
Multilingual Access in Public Libraries
Saturday, June 28 from 1:30 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Disney's Paradise Pier, Rm. Pacific B
Anaheim, California
Description:
The population of North America continues becoming richer and more diverse, linguistically and culturally. As this process continues, the need for multilingual access through library catalogs and other services has moved well beyond the major urban centers, in addition to multilingual collection development. What are the multilingual needs of public library users today? How are they being met, what is needed, and what developments can we look forward to?
