Multicultural Acquisitions

Discover the importance of developing a library collection that reflects the multicultural issues important to the global populations that patronize libraries today. With the arrival of a global economy, it has become more and more important that our population, both young and old, be aware of and respectful of other cultures. Whether it is an Hispanic first grader in New York City seeking information about her Puerto Rican heritage or a Los Angeles businessman inquiring about the customs of a client from China, it is the responsibility of information specialists to provide accurate references to answer these questions. Multicultural Acquisitions presents a multitude of ideas from contributors including graduate students, school media specialists, and authors that help librarians realize the importance of establishing collections that address multiculturalism.Katz, William is the author of 'Multicultural Acquisitions' with ISBN 9781560244516 and ISBN 1560244518.
