Handbook

This subject will explore the concepts of community and diversity (including age, socio-economic, mental and physical health, rural and remote communities, linguistic and cultural diversity) in the context of providing localised information-related community outreach services to diverse populations. Students are encouraged to explore diversity-related issues from within a framework of equity and social justice. Students will choose to explore these ideas from the perspective of a range of professional information settings (such as public libraries, academic libraries, specialised information agencies).
