These guidelines published on a one-page website are recommendations for improving public libraries services and collections to make them more relevant and responsive to indigenous Alaskans. It groups the recommendations into four categories: library environment, services and programs, collections, and library staff.

Many recommendations talk about moving the library beyond its walls by engaging with community events, external facilities, and representatives of the community, and even by collecting library materials that fall outside the realm of mainstream publishing. It is a useful summary that reminds us of things that should seem obvious (collect materials in the languages spoken by your community) and inspires us to achieve more in depth and meaningful connections with the different cultures we serve.

Indigenous librarianship is a specialized field within library and information studies. Its focus is the culturally sensitive management and development of collections about or for indigenous people, and the appropriate provision of library services to indigenous communities or groups. The Research Guide to Indigenous Librarianship by the Xwi7xwa Library @ UBC is a useful portal to other sources, including a short list of recommended books, associations, etc. The section on indigenous policy development in public institutions is most interesting to me, with links to guides to on how to be a culturally responsive library and protocols for handling indigenous materials. It includes links to indigenous classification schemes (alternatives to Dewey Decimal or Library of Congress classifications) and to lists of standardized indigenous names and terms, needed by librarians for their daily work of indexing and cataloguing.
