mclforum

The Multicultural Libraries forum (mclforum) has been established to facilitate the discussion of issues and ideas involved in the provision of Multicultural Library Services.

It is an international forum for library staff interested in the provision of services to multicultural or linguistically diverse populations. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

• the use of technology to facilitate the provision of multicultural library services;
• multilingual internet technology and web site design;
• the provision of library services to communities across a diaspora;
• the effects of globalization on multicultural library services, and the possibilities and opportunities for capitalizing on these changes; and
• the opportunities for, both formal and informal, international cooperation in the provision of multicultural library services.

The forum is supplemented by the MCL-net (multicultural libraries network) web site.
