Abstract:

This paper reports on a British Library-funded project, Public Libraries, Ethnic Diversity and Citizenship. The project examiend how public library services have responded to the implications of ethnic diversity in the way that services are constructed, managed and reviewed. The findings, based on feedback from both information professional and community members, raise a number of difficult issues to be addressed by the public library sector in Britain, and the authors highlight these areas in their discussion.
