Overcoming Challenges in Creating a Spanish-Language Collection
About This Event
Collection development can be a challenging process for even the most seasoned librarians. It can be even more difficult when the selector lacks expertise in an area and or is faced with a language barrier.
With the rise in demand for Spanish-language materials, libraries of all sizes are finding it difficult to select materials with little knowledge of the language, publishers, authors, dialects, and more.
Our panel of experts will share the results of in-depth interviews with libraries facing these issues, what they learned about serving the Spanish-language community, and tips from their own hands-on experience that can benefit any library.
