Library Services to Indians Living Abroad, Specifically in Canada.

Prasada-Kole, Usha

Resource Sharing & Information Networks, v11 n1-2 p107-24 1996

Specialized library collections and services are often not geared toward Indian nationals in Canada. Public libraries should serve ethnic minorities by providing staff with language abilities and sharing materials through interlibrary loan. Appendixes include a geographic overview of Canadian public library acts, sample initiatives for multicultural services, and a bibliography of 44 recommended sources. (BEW)
