The impact of racial and ethnic diversity on libraries grows as the world becomes increasingly connected. More accessible transportation, global communication systems, and international diplomacy foster a global community. These resources were collected to help 1) librarians to stay informed about the diverse communities they serve and to provide services appropriate to their needs, and 2) library educators to infuse multiculturalism in LIS programs in order to train professionals to serve culturally diverse communities. This site is continually updated so plan to visit us again.
