• The creation and management of foreign language collections present unique challenges for librarians who serve the information needs of a linguistically and culturally diverse population. Our panel of public and academic librarians will present our various approaches to working with foreign language vendors and connecting with our communities. The session will conclude with an opportunity for participants to discuss the challenges they face, share their own approaches, learn from each other, and establish lasting links with colleagues who face the similar challenges in their workplaces.
