Purchase options and add-ons

Filling a gap in the existing library and information science literature, this book consolidates recent research and best practices to address the need for diversity and social justice in the training and education of LIS professionals.

The development of cultural competency skills and social awareness benefits LIS students, their future employers, and the library profession at large―not to mention library customers and society as a whole. This textbook and comprehensive resource introduces students to the contexts and situations that promote the development of empathy and build cultural competence, examines the research in the areas of diversity and social justice in librarianship, explains how social responsibility is a foundational value of librarianship, and identifies potential employment and networking opportunities related to diversity and social justice in librarianship.

A valuable book for students in graduate library and information science programs as well as LIS practitioners and researchers interested in knowing more about the topic of diversity in the profession, Information Services to Diverse Populations: Developing Culturally Competent Library Professionals addresses the political, social, economic, and technological divides among library patrons, covers transformative library services, and discusses outreach and services to diverse populations as well as how to evaluate such services, among many other topics. Appendices containing suggestions for exercises and assignments as well as lists of related library organizations and readings in related literature provide readers with additional resources.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

This latest work by Cook (assistant professor, MS/LIS program director, Graduate School of Library & Information Science, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; coeditor, Teaching for Justice: Implementing Social Justice in the LIS Classroom) is a fitting capstone to an extensive career focusing on diversity and inclusion. Here, she highlights her expertise in the area of diversity within librarianship. Chapters address the theory and practice of serving a variety of populations. The work is organized as an ongoing discussion, beginning with an overview, moving through a sampling of populations and services, and ending with practical advice on how to serve an array of clientele. The focus is not just on patrons, however. Cooke is keen to include the LIS profession as a whole within the diverse populations upon which this book is based. VERDICT Although written for LIS students, this work is also essential for all information professionals and will be particularly valuable to library managers looking to recruit a more inclusive workforce.—Jennifer A. Townes, Georgia College, Milledgeville

Review

“This extremely relevant and topical guide only starts the conversation about diversity and gives the reader motivation to continue. It is a much-needed resource for both the student and professional.” ―VOYA

“Although geared toward library science students and public librarians, school librarians will also find the content valuable. . . . Librarians who seek to better understand diversity and the library will benefit from this work.” ―School Library Connection

“Although written for LIS students, this work is also essential for all information professionals and will be particularly valuable to library managers looking to recruit a more inclusive workforce.” ―School Library Journal

“In Information Services to Diverse Populations: Developing Culturally Competent Library Professionals, Nicole A. Cooke has written a book that is clearly needed in this emerging area of library services. . . . For librarians, library staff and library instructors who are involved, or need to become involved, in the work of cultural competencies, diversity, and inclusion, Information Services to Diverse Populations is a vitally useful book. . . . [I]ts existence should be welcomed by anyone who is interested in this area of librarianship.” ―Technical Services Quarterly

“Information Services to Diverse Populations provides a clear and comprehensive description of the landscape of diversity in librarianship as a profession and service. This book is particularly appropriate for library and information science graduate students and can function as a foundational text even for those students who do not have a background in critical theory.” ―College & Research Libraries
