Westin Pershing NS
To combat the paucity in collections and services to Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPIs), members of this panel are working to highlight the information needs of NHPIs and provide culturally-sensitive collections and services. This panel aims to: 1) acquaint the audience with the information-seeking behavior of NHPIs; 2) share ideas about collection development for NHPIs; 3) provide information on health resources and literacy; and 4) talk about an MLIS program for Pacific Islanders.
