Providing Exemplary Tribal Library Services in Remote Locations

In this session, Tyson Rinio, Associate Professor of Library Science at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Rasmuson Library; Julie Niederhauser, Public Library Coordinator at the Alaska State Library; and Sue Sherif, retired from the Alaska State Library, discuss how tribal librarians in remote and rural communities can access culturally relevant training as they share their experiences with a one-week training program and how it changed the way they meet their communities' library needs. Presenters also share approaches to the challenge of running libraries in isolation. Session participants learn how to access free online webinars tailored to the continuing education needs of tribal librarians working in remote locations. This session was part of the ATALM annual conference held in Temecula, California, on October 8-10, 2019.
