Ill. This two-day institute addresses the key issues libraries face in developing a plan for providing library services to a culturally diverse population. Many areas of the country now face a drastic change in their population demographics and will continue to do so over the foreseeable future. Culturally diverse populations now constitute the majority in many urban areas. With this ever-changing customer base, it is necessary for libraries to examine their services and incorporate new ideas and strategies. The institute delves into many of these questions through presentation, small and large group facilitated discussion and individual and group exercises.
