LIBRARY RHETORIC: the Canadian Library Association Statement of Diversity and Inclusion & LGBTQ Advocacy.

The article focuses on the Statement of Diversity and Inclusion adopted by the Canadian Library Association in February 2008. It is said that the statement directly references the CLA Statement on Intellectual Freedom and serves as an umbrella for other pre-existing statements. It recommends that librarians value Canada as a pluralistic society and directs librarians to identify diversity and work towards inclusion of all Canadians, as well as to assure patrons can enjoy services free from any attempts by others to enforce values, customs or beliefs.
