Discussion

This round table features a diverse set of papers exploring the curation and accessibility of minority perspectives across different regions. 

In many settings, resources related to minority and indigenous communities are scarce, underrepresented, or difficult to access, limiting the scope of research and scholarship in these critical areas.

This panel aims to address these gaps by exploring innovative approaches to collection development and collaboration that ensure greater inclusivity and visibility for these voices which have often been overlooked and underutilized.

Included papers from librarians, curators and a publisher/aggregator discuss the goals, workflows, challenges and solutions involved in collecting linguistic, ethnic, cultural and other minority perspectives.
