Session Description:
Join us as academic librarians from four universities in Canada discuss highlights of an innovative research study, coordinated by a not-for-profit higher-education organization, that explores how university libraries can better serve Indigenous Studies scholars. In-depth interviews of Indigenous Studies faculty, a neglected academic library clientele, is shedding light on their unique information and research needs. How can libraries help promote the value of Indigenous knowledge in academia? Do libraries have a role to play in increasing access to Indigenous knowledge keepers personal narratives, which are highly valued by Indigenous faculty? What differences in findings are there between these academic libraries?
