Cultural Awareness and Bibliographic Instruction in Academic Libraries

Abstract

Bibliographic instruction programs in academic libraries have come to recognize the growing prevalence of cultural pluralism on campus and the concomitant necessity to design services that will improve learning and relevancy among these students.The authors assert that cultural awareness and understanding must become a guiding principle in designing all aspects of instructional programs, from collections to class presentations, facilities to human resources.The Purdue University Libraries have developed a multifaceted program of instructional services and facilities to meet the demands of a large, diverse student body with a variety of learning styles.
