What are the library services and resources that Asian Pacific
Americans need? What does it mean to be an Asian Pacific American
librarian in the 21st century? In Asian American Librarians and
Library Services: Activism, Collaborations, and Strategies, library
professionals and scholars share reflections, best practices, and
strategies, and convey the critical need for diversity in the LIS
field, library programming, and resources to better reflect the
rich and varied experiences and information needs of Asian
Americans in the US and beyond. The contributors show that they
care deeply about diversity, that they acknowledge that it is
painfully lacking in so many aspects of libraries and
librarianship, and that libraries and the LIS profession must
systematically integrate diversity and inclusion into their
strategic priorities and practices, indeed, in their very mission,
such that the rich diversity of experiences and histories of Asian
Americans in library and archival collections, services, and
programming are not only validated and recognized, but also valued
and celebrated as vital components of the shared American
experience. The volume recognizes and honors the creative and
intentional work librarians do for their constituent Asian American
communities in promoting resources, services, and outreach.
