The Traditional Arts and Ethnology Centre (TAEC) is an independent, non-profit museum dedicated to promoting the appreciation and preservation of cultural diversity in Lao PDR. Like most museums, TAEC maintains a collection of artefacts, curates exhibitions, and promotes scholarship and learning through research and outreach activities. However, TAEC is also a museum representing living cultures in a developing country context, and as such faces a unique set of challenges for which it has developed specific approaches.
In a country with low education levels and a lack of museum and non-traditional learning opportunities, simply drawing in Lao visitors and creating a meaningful experience for them requires creativity and active visitor management. TAEC has developed a range of activities for children visiting the museum and also conducts sessions in schools to broaden its reach. Attracting adults has remained more elusive. To facilitate the building of further cultural heritage resources in Laos, TAEC conducts capacity-building activities for government staff of museums, NGO workers, and tourism professionals.
TAEC’s most challenging but meaningful objective is to promote cultural pride and revitalisation within ethnic minority communities themselves. TAEC has explored approaches including an ethnic minority intern programme, collaborative exhibition development with villages, and an ethnic cultural festival. Recognising that rural ethnic communities are amongst Laos’ poorest populations, TAEC also runs a handicrafts development programme, generating income for over 600 artisans in 11 provinces of the country.
TAEC views all these approaches (and others) as part of its education and advocacy programmes, and crucial to the sustainability of the organisation, its mission, and cultural heritage management itself. The challenge is how to progress from simply educating local populations to understand and value the idea of cultural diversity, to adopting the task of fostering cultural diversity, and finally, to taking leadership in their own communities to tackle their specific cultural heritage issues through home-grown approaches.
Access, Skills and Development in Africa : Local Knowledge in Local LanguagesMcNulty Consulting
This document discusses the Ulwazi Programme, a case study of a South African initiative to improve access to information, skills, and development in rural communities. The key points are:
1) The Ulwazi Programme is a wiki-based initiative run by eThekwini Municipality libraries to collect and share local knowledge and histories in local languages.
2) It aims to preserve indigenous knowledge, build digital skills, develop a sustainable digital library of local content, and promote social inclusion.
3) The program model involves collaboration between communities, libraries, and open-source technology to collect and validate community knowledge and make it accessible online.
4) It has experienced significant growth in visits, content,
The Ulwazi Programme: a Model for Community Digital Libraries in South AfricaNiall McNulty
IFLA 2015: Session 174a
Born of changes in the political context and the policy environment, the Ulwazi Programme is a South African library
initiative that has been set up by the eThekwini Municipal Library’s Libraries and Heritage Department. Its aim is to
record and share, in both English and Zulu, the local histories and cultures of communities served by the municipal
library in the greater Durban area. The Programme does this by using the existing library infrastructure and freely
available social technologies to create a wiki, much like Wikipedia, but localised for the eThekwini Municipality. The
presentation further argues that the Ulwazi Programme advances the library’s efforts to be an inclusive institution
and contributes to social cohesion at a local level.

Indigenous Perspectives on Museum Diversity (Part 3/3) - Reclaiming our Place...West Muse
As we plan for the next seven generations, should diversity matter to tribal museums and communities? What does diversity within these museums look like, especially in a time where discussions around diversifying staff, boards, and collections are everywhere in the museum world? This session brings together museum scholars and practitioners to share stories of the practice of diversity in Indigenous museums.
Wisconsin Heritage Online (WHO) is a digital portal that aggregates metadata and digital content from local history collections across Wisconsin. It provides shared standards for digitization, metadata, and digital preservation. WHO works with various partners, including historical societies, museums, libraries, and the Wisconsin Historical Society, to digitize local history collections and make them accessible online. It also provides training and support to help smaller organizations overcome challenges to digitization. A new WHO website is being developed to provide a more engaging experience for exploring Wisconsin's local history and cultural heritage collections.

Forced Migration and the Role of Information Science: Assimilation versus Int...Martha Kyrillidou, PhD
Much like we have little choice as to when and where we are born, issues of forced migration are submerged with perspectives of restricted choice. Do migrants have a choice as to whether they integrate or assimilate into a host society? What are the digital literacy skills most important to migrants? How can we achieve the social and cultural fluency that is needed for healthy and productive social and cultural outcomes? How can we create information flows that empower the most vulnerable and alienated people? What should we be conscious of when working with NGOs, researchers, and other actors in this field?
This presentation summarizes reflections from attending the International Association for the Study of Forced Migration (IASFM) Conference in Thessaloniki, Greece in the summer of 2018. It also summarizes reflections from a summer school program at the University of Sheffield, Thessaloniki campus, entitled Refugee and Migrant Crisis: New Challenges of Integration. Finally, the presentation will discuss first-hand experiences volunteering at the Sindos Community Centre outside Thessaloniki. This presentation will delve into the gaps between the research and policies on forced migration and the realities refugees face.
Tribal libraries serve indigenous communities and face unique challenges compared to other types of libraries. They have developed over time with support from government programs and organizations like the American Indian Library Association. Tribal librarians play an important role in their communities by providing library services, seeking funding, and acting as advocates while also having specialized knowledge of local culture. Consistent funding, staffing, geographic isolation, and preservation are ongoing challenges, but tribal libraries are adapting to changes through cultural competency, partnerships, and technology.

Libraries and archives are colonial impositions in many parts of the world, including lands that are now part of the United States Empire. As colonial impositions, libraries are complicit in the perpetuation of colonialism and Western hegemony through classification systems and controlled vocabularies. Through Library of Congress Subject Headings, Indigenous, queer, and gender non-conforming people are historicized, homogenized, and misnamed, and violence perpetuated against us is erased and/or referenced euphemistically.
This session will define, name impact, and provide examples of colonialism in cataloguing and classification, as well as share information on alternative headings and organization systems developed by Indigenous peoples and nations. Additionally, there will be ample time for questions and discussion after the presentation.

Also see the article, International Perspectives on the New Librarian Experience http://www.scribd.com/doc/6576087/International-Perspectives-on-the-New-Librarian
Libraries play an important role in connecting immigrant communities and saving lives by providing access to information. According to the facts presented, over 12.9% of the US population is foreign-born and 1 in 6 Americans are Hispanic. 21% of Americans speak a language other than English at home. The Queens Library aims to increase its online services for non-English speakers by developing customized in-house databases and social media in various languages. It also wants to offer on-demand printing to benefit small business owners and first-time authors. Improving access to information through libraries is important and a matter that should involve library decision makers, front-line librarians, elected officials, community leaders, and the general public.

Back by popular demand! Each year, a number of new reports about public libraries are produced by organizations like Pew, OCLC, Library Journal, The Aspen Institute, and others. These reports contain valuable information that can help us plan, develop services, and improve existing services, but unfortunately, few of us have the time to read every single one. The goal of this session is to help attendees get an overview of those reports and their implications for our work. Each panelist will share a summary of a report they believe is significant and discuss how they have used or will use the information at their library. Attendees will be encouraged to share other reports and insights that have mattered to them, too!
This document summarizes a panel discussion on crowdsourcing reference and user services in libraries. The panelists discuss challenges like distinguishing good contributions from bad, systematic biases, and keeping contributions up to date. They also provide examples of how platforms like LibraryThing, Birds of North America, and Encyclopedia of Life have addressed issues of scalable curation, systematic biases, and the update problem. One panelist discusses her research on CrowdAsk, a crowdsourcing platform for student questions at Purdue University that aims to provide contextual answers and strengthen online communities.
This document discusses the Sound of the Archives podcast created by Prairie Hady, Laura Farley, and Dana Gerber. It provides an overview of the podcast's creation, challenges faced, and future plans. The podcast's mission is to foster greater understanding of how archives function in society and inspire appreciation for archival materials. Challenges included allocating resources and maintaining collaboration. These were overcome through utilizing others' input, delegating tasks, and focusing on familiar topics. The future of the podcast may include expanding the audience and collaborating with institutions from a physical distance. Podcasting is seen as a way to engage patrons and increase institutional visibility.
FORCE11: Future of Research Communications and e-ScholarshipMaryann Martone
FORCE11 is a grassroots organization that aims to accelerate scholarly communications and e-scholarship through technology, education, and community engagement. It was founded in 2011 in Dagstuhl, Germany and is open to anyone with a stake in modernizing scholarly communication. FORCE11 envisions a future where scholarly information is part of an open, universal network and new forms of publication are created to take advantage of this. However, the current scholarly publishing system is inefficient and fragmented. FORCE11 works to address this by developing new authoring, publishing, and reward systems that incentivize open sharing and reuse of scholarly artifacts online.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
