MIBF 2018: Talk for Librarians on Inclusive and Diverse Library Programming and Services

Zarah Gagatiga will present global conceptual frameworks on inclusion and diversity in libraries as espoused by the International Federation of Library (IFLA), the American Library Association (ALA) and UNESCO. A localisation of these concepts and ideas will be discussed to establish context when sharing of best practices on inclusion and diverse programs and services in select Philippine libraries, reading centers and literacy and cultural agencies. Tips and techniques in diversifying the library collection and inclusive library services are included in the session. A mini-workshop will be conducted to end the session. Participants are encouraged to bring five children’s books, young adult novel or graphic novel, and a working knowledge of their library’s collection development plan and readers services protocol.
