ABSTRACT

The work of the State Library of New South Wales (SLNSW) with and for NSW public libraries is examined here to highlight public library collections and services for people who speak languages other than English. Three case studies are presented. Together, these studies demonstrate ways in which public libraries support their communities. The first project examined considers the SLNSW’s work with the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) to seek changes to the Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games) Act 1995 (NSW). The proposed changes to the Act would enable unclassified films in languages other than English to be purchased in Australia for public libraries. At present unclassified films can only be purchased overseas. The second project reflects on research conducted in 2018 into multicultural public library services across NSW which led to benchmarks for current services and a basis for improvement. Finally, a case study on the SLNSW’s work on portable local studies is presented. This is a collaboration with 16 public libraries collecting local studies material in partnership with people from their culturally and linguistically diverse communities. These case studies highlight the social value of this work and offer examples for similar practice across the public library network.

如果我说另一种语言怎么办?许多图书馆,多种语言

抽象的

新南威尔士州立图书馆(SLNSW)与新南威尔士州公共图书馆以及为新南威尔士州公共图书馆所做的工作在此处进行了审查,以突出显示为讲英语以外的其他语言的人们提供的公共图书馆馆藏和服务。提出了三个案例研究。这些研究共同展示了公共图书馆支持其社区的方式。审查的第一个项目考虑了SLNSW与澳大利亚图书馆和信息协会(ALIA)的合作,以寻求对1995年《分类(出版物,电影和计算机游戏)法》(NSW)的修改。该法案的拟议修改将使澳大利亚可以购买非英语以外的其他语言的未归类电影供公共图书馆使用。目前,未分类的电影只能在海外购买。第二个项目反映了2018年对新南威尔士州多元文化公共图书馆服务进行的研究,该研究得出了当前服务的基准和改进的基础。最后,介绍了SLNSW在便携式本地研究方面的案例研究。这是与16个公共图书馆的合作,与来自其文化和语言多样性社区的人们合作收集当地研究资料。这些案例研究突出了这项工作的社会价值,并为整个公共图书馆网络中的类似实践提供了示例。这是与16个公共图书馆的合作,与来自其文化和语言多样性社区的人们合作收集当地研究资料。这些案例研究突出了这项工作的社会价值,并为整个公共图书馆网络中的类似实践提供了示例。这是与16个公共图书馆的合作,与来自其文化和语言多样性社区的人们合作收集当地研究资料。这些案例研究突出了这项工作的社会价值,并为整个公共图书馆网络中的类似实践提供了示例。
