cultural competency training in libraries

Hi, Can anyone recommend a cultural competency (or cultural awareness or cultural sensitivity) training they've had at their library? Or perhaps a webinar or another form of training that staff at your library took? It's fine if it's not a library specific training. I'll compile all the results and send them out to anyone else interested in finding this kind of training. Thanks! -- Kristy Cooper

Hi Kristy. If you are looking for some low cost or free options for staff take a look at the resources below. WebJunction offerings are free: A list available that are self-paced courses that match your need can be found here: https://learn.webjunction.org/course/search.php?search=cultural Here is a link to a post about inclusive practices with connections to other resources. https://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/stories-of-inclusion-inclusive-... Here are a number under their topic of Access & Equity https://www.webjunction.org/explore-topics/access-equity.html If you are looking for training for library staff serving children and youth you may want to review YALSA's offerings such as http://www.ala.org/yalsa/cultural-competence-library InfoPeople offers webinars for a fairly low fee that are also archived.
