Please can ILIGlisters forward this message to colleagues / other
discussion lists of interest. Although these seminars help raise funds for
ILIG's awards, the second session, in particular, aims to concentrate on a
topic of increasing relevance to the international community, namely the
provision of information services to migrants and refugees.

SEMINAR TWO: INFORMATION SERVICES FOR MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES
13.45 - 16.30 (registration 13.30) in the British Library Auditorium
With presentations by Helen Carpenter (Paul Hamlyn Foundation), Diana
Edmonds (Assistant Director Culture, Libraries and Learning, London
Borough of
Haringey) and Amanuel Gebrekidan (British Broadcasting Corporation,
Future Media
and Technology, Information and Archives)
Chaired by Stephanie Kenna (The British Library)
The afternoon starts with Helen Carpenter talking about the
opportunities
and challenges facing libraries in a multicultural environment. She
will draw
on her experiences of running the award-winning Welcome to Your
Library
Project, which encouraged librarians to reach out to refugees, and on
what she
learnt about multiculturalism in North America and Europe during her
tenure of
the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust travelling scholarship in 2007.
Diana Edmonds follows with an examination of the practical aspects of
de
signing and running library services. Since she took over in 2001,
library
performance in Haringey - one of the most ethnically diverse of London
boroughs -
has improved dramatically.
Finally Amanuel Gebrekidan, a journalist and qualified librarian and
himself
a refugee from Eritrea now living and working in UK, will speak on
what sort
of library services a migrant or refugee to UK wants and will use.
There will be ample time for discussion, questions and answers.
