Library Services and Information Needs of the Filipino Community in the San Francisco Bay Area
Miraflor, Angie
Online Submission
In order for a library to serve a special group, simply adding a couple of books and videos is not good enough. There needs to be comprehensive research done about the group so the library's collection and services are at the best quality. The Filipino community is the second largest Asian group in the San Francisco Bay Area; yet nothing has been written about their library needs and what kinds of materials and services should be offered to them. This paper takes a look at the Filipino demographic data in the Bay Area, some cultural points of the Filipino community, and lastly, some suggestions for library materials and services followed by a list of online resources where library staff can get Filipino related materials. This will hopefully provide librarians and other information professionals ideas of how to meet the information needs and serve this large population.
