Description

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.

Annabelle Villaescusa Nuñez is a bilingual, second-generation Latina. She is the daughter of immigrant parents who came from the state of Sonora in Mexico. She is well-known in the community as an activist and actress, having performed in various Borderlands Theater productions. She is on the faculty at the University of Arizona Health Sciences Library, where she works in outreach services to extend health information to the community. Verónica Reyes-Escudero is a Mexican American librarian who immigrated with her family to a US border town when she was three years old. She is a fluent Spanish speaker and with her family of migrant farm workers spent many years traveling between Arizona and California from the mid-1970s through the 1980s.
