Module 2:3 – Library Services to Indigenous Populations: Case Studies

http://www.ifla.org/files/assets/indigenous-matters/publications/indigenous-librarianship-2013.pdf

This publication from the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) was developed with two goals in mind: to guide practice, and to strengthen international networks of indigenous librarians. Case studies of library services for indigenous people are included from all over the world: North and South America, Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. The PDF of this 117-page book is freely available on the IFLA website. Each case study is presented in a consistent form-like fashion, more a directory-type entry than what I would normally expect from a case study (I was expecting longer narratives). But a resource for contacts, and as a quick overview of things that are happening worldwide, it is useful.
