Over the years, the global community of libraries and cultural institutions have collaborated to promote and enhance services to indigenous communities, as well as encourage indigenous leadership in various sectors. To further contribute to these efforts, this session aims to foster dialogue to complement the IFLA Indigenous Matters Section Open Session on Working Together Toward Guidelines for Library Services With Indigenous Peoples. From the session’s presentations and discussions, we hope to generate concrete input for the IFLA Indigenous Matters Section in their development of Guidelines.
