Akaltye Antheme, a continuing partnership

Australian Library and Information Association Biennial Conference, 2 – 5 September 2008, Alice Springs Convention Centre, Alice Springs, NT Australia: Dreaming 08.
 
This conference paper presents discussion by the Special Collections Librarian and the Indigenous Services Officer at Alice Springs Public Library on establishing and developing the Alice Springs Public Library’s Akaltye Antheme Collection. The Akaltyne Antheme Collection aims to facilitate Indigenous people’s use of the Library and all its collections and to provide insight into local culture for non-Indigenous patrons and visitors. The paper contextualises the collection's role within the broader scope of the library and its information services for Indigenous people and highlights its successes.
