Curating Community Collections de Mary Schreiber

Curating Community Collections

Autor Mary Schreiber, Wendy K. Bartlett
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 feb 2024

Notăm apariția volumului Curating Community Collections, un manual esențial pentru specialiștii în biblioteconomie care urmăresc să transforme principiile de diversitate, echitate și incluziune (DEI) în practici operaționale sustenabile. Mary Schreiber și Wendy K. Bartlett își valorifică experiența vastă în managementul achizițiilor pentru a oferi soluții care depășesc simplul audit de inventar. Structurată riguros în trei părți, lucrarea începe cu o analiză a privilegiului în instituțiile de profil și avansează spre metodologii de selecție și eliminare a materialelor (weeding), culminând cu strategii de implicare a factorilor de decizie. Reținem că această lucrare extinde cadrul propus de Auditing Diversity in Library Collections de Rosalind A. Washington prin adăugarea unor date noi despre managementul fluxurilor de lucru zilnice și despre crearea „colecțiilor satelit”. Dacă titlurile similare, precum Practical Tips for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in Libraries, se concentrează pe studii de caz generale, volumul de față oferă o foaie de parcurs tehnică, susținută de anexe extrem de valoroase: fișe de analiză pentru vârsta colecției, liste de furnizori aprobați pentru limbi străine și modele de memorandumuri de înțelegere. Abordarea autoarelor este una pragmatică, integrând povești de succes din biblioteci nord-americane pentru a demonstra scalabilitatea acestor programe, indiferent de buget. În contextul operei lor, Curating Community Collections completează viziunea din Partnering with Parents, mutând accentul de la parteneriatul cu familia către responsabilitatea instituțională de a reflecta vocea întregii comunități. Ritmul textului este unul instructiv, orientat spre acțiune, fiind un instrument de lucru care facilitează tranziția de la teorie la o politică de achiziții echitabilă.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte bibliotecarilor și directorilor de instituții culturale care doresc să implementeze schimbări sistemice, nu doar de fațadă. Cititorul câștigă acces la instrumente de audit gata de utilizat și la o metodologie clară pentru a apăra dreptul comunității la lectură. Este o resursă indispensabilă pentru modernizarea politicilor de achiziție în acord cu standardele internaționale de incluziune, oferind soluții concrete pentru creșterea vizibilității materialelor diverse.

Descriere

Begins where diversity audits end, informing and supporting academic, school, and public librarians in the quest to embed diversity, equity, and inclusion in a meaningful and sustainable manner throughout collections, policies, and practices.

A primary question for many librarians, directors, and board members is how to evaluate diversity in a collection on an ongoing basis.

Curating Community Collections provides librarians with the tools they need to understand the results of diversity audits and to formulate a reasonable, achievable plan for increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion not only in the collection itself, but also in library collection policies and practices. Information on ways to make diversity, equity, and inclusion part of a library's everyday workflow will help ensure the sustainability of these principles.

Mary Schreiber and Wendy Bartlett teach readers how to increase the number of diverse materials in their collections and make them more discoverable to library patrons through the implementation of a community collections program. Stories from librarians around the United States and Canada who are auditing and improving the diversity of their collections add broad, scalable perspectives for libraries of any size, budget, and mission. Action steps provided at the end of each section offer a practical road map for all types of libraries to curate a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community collection.

Perfect for collection development librarians, school librarians and teachers, and seasoned and early-career librarians.
In the current moment when history is being suppressed and diverse reading is being curtailed, this important volume gives librarians many tools to defend their patrons' rights to see themselves reflected in their local libraries' collections and services. This unique book offers a comprehensive approach that gives context and meaning to the goal of creating a truly diverse library collection.
Librarians Mary Schreiber and Wendy K. Bartlett have created a comprehensive guide to addressing the challenging task of strategically collating a collection that ensures wide representation and promotes inclusiveness for library patrons. Information professionals in all stages of their career will find this book chock-full of descriptive strategies, and each chapter provides opportunities to explore concepts with further readings and resources. The "Perspectives from the Field" component provides an in-depth narrative of applying best practices in action from across the nation; each is a mini case study of how professionals implement strategies and align collections to their communities. This book is a must-read and a call to action for information professionals to curate a collection that reflects a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and creates a harmonious space where all readers are welcomed to engage.
