From Outreach to Equity:
Innovative Models of Library Policy and Practice |
| Edited

| The
many assumptions about current library outreach services-that
they're off-site, depend on special funding, and are
administered by specific staff-no longer reflect the realities
of providing equitable library services to the audiences who
most need them. Providing equity of access is the business of
every department in the library. Growing from the leadership
initiative of 2003-4 ALA President Carla Hayden, this
multifaceted guide answers both "why" and "how." Following
successful models from around the country, any library can take
steps to improve access to information for all, encompassed
within the library's service delivery system. Quality service
appears in a wide variety of programs. Learn from the specifics:
Serve immigrants and refugees inspired by the "InfoBUS" example
Connect prison inmates to library services Build community
around local information and referrals Bridge the digital divide
Incorporate multilingual materials Hire and train with an eye to
outreach Pair up advocacy and outreach to leverage results Gain
authoritative, detailed, and practical guidance for policies,
practices, and model programs that integrate "outreach" services
into the daily fabric of every area of the library. |
