Abstract

Brings together both Australian and international work on Indigenous music and dance, with chapters centred around practices from Arnhem Land, Western Australia, the Tiwi Islands, the Torres Strait, Taiwan, Aotearoa/New Zealand and North America, and Indigenous scholars authoring or co-authoring more than half of the book. Combines practice-led scholarship with research-informed creative practice. Considers music and dance together as often inseparable parts of performance practices, an approach achieved through the interdisciplinarity of its contributing authors. Music, Dance and the Archive interrogates historical access and responses to archives by showing how Indigenous performing artists and community members, and academic researchers (Indigenous and non-Indigenous) are collaborating to bring life to objects that have been stored in archives. It highlights the relationship between music and dance, as embodied forms of culture, and records in archives, bringing together interdisciplinary research from musicologists, dance historians, linguists, Indigenous Studies scholars and practitioners. The volume examines how music and dance are recorded in audio-visual records, what uses are made of these records (in renewal of cultural practice or in revitalising performances that have fallen out of use), and the relationship between the live body and historical objects. While this book focuses on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander music and dance, it also features research on Indigenous music and dance from beyond Australia, including New Zealand, Taiwan and North America. Music, Dance and the Archive is an insightful culmination of original, previously unpublished research from a diverse selection of scholars in Indigenous history, musicology, linguistics, archival science and dance history.

Abstract

Humanizing LIS Education and Practice : Diversity by Design demonstrates that diversity concerns are relevant to all and need to be approached in a systematic way. Developing the Diversity by Design concept articulated by Dali and Caidi in 2017, the book promotes the notion of the diversity mindset.Grouped into three parts, the chapters within this volume have been written by an international team of seasoned academics and practitioners who make diversity integral to their professional and scholarly activities. Building on the Diversity by Design approach, the book presents case studies with practice models for two primary audiences: LIS educators and LIS practitioners. Chapters cover a range of issues, including, but not limited to, academic promotion and tenure ; the decolonization of LIS education; engaging Indigenous and multicultural communities; librarians’ professional development in diversity and social justice; and the decolonization of library access practices and policies. As a collection, the book illustrates a systems-thinking approach to fostering diversity and inclusion in LIS, integrating it by design into the LIS curriculum and professional practice. Calling on individuals, organizations, policymakers, and LIS educators to make diversity integral to their daily activities and curriculum, Humanizing LIS Education and Practice: Diversity by Design will be of interest to anyone engaged in research and professional practice in Library and Information Science.

Abstract

The many assumptions about current library outreach services - that they're off-site, depend on special funding, and are administered by specific staff - no longer reflect the realities of providing equitable library services to the audiences who most need them. This guide answers both "why" and "how".
