More Book Details

Description of the Book:

This document profiles the role of Tennessee State University’s Brown-Daniel Library in its collection development activities for a culturally diverse student body. It recommends that a series of goals and objectives be maintained in the selection criteria of library materials for students having diverse backgrounds. Topics include a brief historical background, school demographics, a description of the Brown-Daniel Library and its multicultural policies and programs, the African-American studies program at Tennessee State University, and a review of the literature on multicultural education. The library and its collection practices are analyzed using Nieto’s Model (1992) for multicultural education, which consists of seven benchmark characteristics for multicultural education. Multicultural education should be: anti-racist; basic; widely relevant to all students; pervasive; instrumental in educating about social justice; process-oriented; and based on critical pedagogy.
