Abstract

We would like to begin by paying our respect to the local Indigenous people, the traditional custodians of the lands upon which we are meeting today. On behalf of the traditional custodians, we welcome you all. This opening sentiment, adapted from traditional Australian "Welcome to Country"addresses in which the peoples local to a particular event are acknowledged and honoured, underscores IASL's mission to appreciate and grow school librarianship as well as this issue's theme School Libraries and Diversity in the 21st Century.
