Casaday, Edith Agency Cooperation American Indians Definitions Guides Information Services Library Cooperation Library Planning Models Urban American Indians Urban Areas According to the 1970 Census, nearly one-half of the United States American Indian population lives in urban areas. Many of these Indians belong to a lower socioeconomic sector and are often discriminated against in housing, education, employment, health services, and law enforcement. Away from the protections of their own cultures and repressed in the majority culture, they have a special need for reinforcement of self-esteem. Information and referral services can help provide solutions to their everyday needs, thus assisting them to become more productive members of society. The library can furnish a variety of Indian materials to help meet these varying needs. Guide 5, one of 11 guides designed to provide initial direction and alternatives to those planning or developing Indian library and information systems, briefly discusses some basic considerations which need to be kept in mind when implementing library services for urban Indian populations. Among the topics are: library responsibility, role of Indian organizations, location of services, personnel, model services, and cooperation with schools and social services. Twelve sources for further reading are given. (NQ) |
