Hello all,<\/p>\n
This is my first post here on the ETEC 521 weblog. I usually teach secondary math (8-11) but am fortunate enough to have one block of library this semester.<\/p>\n
I therefore want to conduct my research on the current state of Library Services for First Nation’s people within the Province of BC.<\/p>\n
Within an online search I initially came across an article which commented on the passing of the 1994 Library Service Act in BC, granting First Nations people use of public libraries without a fee to do so.<\/p>\n
The link is as follows:\u00a0<\/p>\n
http:\/\/www.bcla.bc.ca\/fnig\/page\/library%20services.aspx<\/p>\n
From the BC Library Association website, this article discussed hurdles to access for First Nations in previously accessing library services.<\/p>\n
Prior to the Act passing, Reserves were not granted access to library materials without a fee because the laws stated that since tax dollars were not collected from Reserves to help fund non-reserve public libraries. This reasoning was shocking and quite surprising considering the year was 1994 when access was granted. Unbelievable!!!!<\/p>\n
This article was obviously an eye-opener into some of the politics that surround library access, and other potential access obstacles to learning for First Nations people.<\/p>\n
Thanks.<\/p>\n
