The ALA Office for Literacy and Outreach Services (OLOS), the American Indian Library Association (AILA), and the National Institutes of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums are seeking information on multicultural services offered by all types of libraries.

 

The purposes of this survey are:

1)      To identify the current status of culturally responsive services in libraries; 

2)      To identify and study issues and challenges confronting the development of culturally appropriate services to diverse audiences;  

3)      To collect and disseminate information on successful programs

4)      To make recommendations on possible courses of action to facilitate increased multicultural library services.

This survey is intended to be a quick assessment of services, and so your IMMEDIATE response is appreciated. 

 

The deadline for responses is October 17, 2008, so PLEASE COMPLETE THE SURVEY AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. The questions are designed for easy responses. Entries received after December 17th will not be calculated. The resulting data will be posted mid-December 2008 at www.ala.org/olos.
