This book was released on 2016-12-12 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

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.

Book Synopsis Identity Development of Diverse Populations: Implications for Teaching and Administration in Higher Education by : Vasti Torres
Download or read book Identity Development of Diverse Populations: Implications for Teaching and Administration in Higher Education written by Vasti Torres and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-09-23 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is focused on educating faculty and administrators about the developmental issues faced by students from different racial, ethnic, or other social groupings as they attempt to define themselves during the college years and the ways this information can enhance campus classrooms, programs, and policies. Although there is a growing body of work on how various racial, ethnic, gender and other social groups develop their identity, there has been limited synthesis or application of this literature to the practice of professionals in higher education. The authors have higher education administrative backgrounds, so their recommendations are grounded in experience, and each also has a solid record of scholarship in identity development. The combined scholarly and administrative experience of the three authors enhances the contribution of this book.
Book Synopsis Foundations of Social Justice by : Nicole A. Cooke
Download or read book Foundations of Social Justice written by Nicole A. Cooke and published by ALA Neal-Schuman. This book was released on 2022-05-23 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cooke's important text, suitable for both graduate and undergraduate courses as well as current practitioners, outlines and examines the components of social justice that are most compelling and relevant for the library and information professions. Libraries serve all types of communities and diverse populations, and they are also part of the communities being served. As such, library staff need to be familiar with and capable of the social justice work that will allow them to advocate for, protect, and enhance their communities. Past winner of the ALA Equality Award and acclaimed scholar Cooke introduces this seminal concept to those new to the social justice lens, while also offering an authoritative and enlightening overview for those who are already familiar. Readers will learn about the five main principles of social justice (access to resources, equity, participation, diversity, and human rights) and their historical context; understand how these principles apply to the practice of librarianship, both as aspirational goals and in day-to-day work; discover why common assumptions and misconceptions about social justice work can be toxic and are often counterproductive; explore topics such as social justice consciousness raising, action and advocacy, cultural competence, and anti-racism; get to know about relevant and related issues, including intersectionality, critical race theory, social justice storytelling, and critical pedagogies; practice self-reflection through compelling exercises and activities included throughout the text; and be introduced to a hand-picked selection of key literature and sources that will illuminate the concept and encourage further study.

Book Synopsis Counseling Diverse Populations by : Donald R. Atkinson
Download or read book Counseling Diverse Populations written by Donald R. Atkinson and published by McGraw-Hill Humanities, Social Sciences & World Languages. This book was released on 1998 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this second edition of Counseling Diverse Populations is the same as the first edition, to call to the attention of mental healthy practitioners the unique experiences and needs of four groups within the American society that, along with ethnic and selected other groups, share the common experience of oppression. These four groups are people with disabilities, older people, women, and gay people. Each of these four groups has a common physical and/or behavioral characteristic that identifies individuals as members of the group and that has singled them out for differential and inferior treatment. Each of these groups has in the past experienced (and continues to experience) discrimination as a result of their physical and/or behavioral uniqueness. Discrimination for all four groups has ranged from negative stereotypes to physical violence. It is our thesis that mental health practitioners need to be more aware of the unique experiences of these groups in order to effectively intervene on their behalf.
