Abstract

This paper begins with detailed descriptions of how the multicultural services provided ethnic, linguistic, and cultural minorities have evolved over the time. The significance of multicultural services is discussed from the four perspectives: 1) the right to know, 2) minorities as members of the community, 3) respect for human rights, and 4) commonality with services to the disabled. This is followed by descriptions of how international trends in human rights are developing, what measures are being taken up by international organizations for this issue. Finally, the paper concludes with a proposal that discusses the important aspects for librarians to have as they engage in multicultural library services in their communities and constituencies in the future.
