Cultural Differences Cultural Pluralism Foreign Countries Indigenous Populations Legislation Library Role Library Services Maori (People) Minority Groups National Libraries Users (Information) This paper describes the work of the New Zealand National Library and its commitment to being a center for diversity so that the collections within it are a reflection of the community it represents. Two acts that have focused attention on managing diversity in the government sector are summarized: the State Sector Act 1998, which requires the National Library to develop an equal employment opportunities plan each year; and the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975, a compact by the Maori and the British Crown to build a nation together. The National Library consultation with the Maori has centered on a strategic partnership goal; it will have a strategy for developing an effective partnership with the Maori by 2002. (MES)
