Written by three experienced LIS professionals, Latinos in Libraries,
Museums, and Archives demonstrates the meaning of cultural competence
in the everyday work in libraries, archives, museums, and special
collections with Latino populations. The authors focus on their areas
of expertise including academic, school, public libraries, health
sciences, archives, and special collections to show the importance of
understanding how cultural competence effects the day-to-day
communication, relationship building, and information provision with
Latinos. They acknowledge the role of both tacit and explicit
knowledge in their work, and discuss ways in which cultural competence
is integral to successful delivery of services to, communication with,
and relationship building with Latino communities.
