Abstract

The challenge of providing library service to multicultural and multilingual populations is a challenge confronting both public and academic libraries throughout the USA. Presents an overview of the ethnic makeup of the state of California and describes the strategies that are being used by the libraries of the University of California to support their diverse populations. Programmes and activities include specialized service units to serve the needs of different segments of the multicultural populations; specialized resources to serve the Asian-American campus populations; the use of an outreach librarian; and a policy of increasing the numbers of professionals from traditionally underrepresented groups among the librarians within the university. All these efforts are aimed at insuring that alle the university's constituents are provided with good library service
