Founding a Hui of Hawaiian Librarians & Archivists

Presentation slidesHawaiian librarians and archivists are recognizing that our specialized skills may be of service to the Hawaiian community. The first of many challenges is to organize a cohesive entity that can effectively conduct activities throughout our dispersed communities. Will such an organization compete with existing state library and archival groups, or can they be complementary and mutually supportive? What are our opportunities for service to the Hawaiian community? How can we partner with other Hawaiian service agencies as well as those that cater to more general needs? All are invited to address these and other questions in an open forum
