Мультикультурные сообщества: руководство по библиотечному обслуживанию, 3-е издание

These guidelines promote fairness and equity of access in library services to multicultural communities. They provide a basis for the planning of library services to all groups in the community; criteria against which existing multicultural services may be assessed; an equitable basis for the acquisition of materials and the provision of services; and they encourage understanding and engagement among the multicultural groups represented in all societies. Also available is a four-page summary of the Multicultural Communities: Guidelines for Library Services published by the Section in July 2011.

本指南旨在促进多元文化社区在图书馆服务领域获取资源与服务的公平性与公正性。其具体功能包括：为面向社区全体群体的图书馆服务规划提供基础性依据；为现有多元文化服务的评估设定评判标准；为馆藏资料采购与服务供给构建公平基准；同时推动全球各社会中多元文化群体间的相互理解与互动联结。此外，该部门于2011年7月发布的《多元文化社区：图书馆服务指南》（Multicultural Communities: Guidelines for Library Services）亦配有四页内容摘要可供获取。
