Amplifies underrepresented Indigenous perspectives on information policy, highlighting their vital contributions to library and information science knowledge.Libraries, archives, and other information institutions have historically focused on Western knowledge systems, marginalizing or misappropriating Indigenous ways of knowing. This important book demonstrates how Indigenous information perspectives can and must provide a critical lens for decolonizing or indigenizing these institutions. It helps academics, professionals, and library and information science (LIS) students to rethink and transform existing library and information frameworks, cataloging systems, and epistemologies. Its focus on information policy issues enhances LIS curricula and provides readers with a critical understanding of what equity, diversity, and inclusion looks like when viewed through an indigenizing lens.Chapters highlight timely topics such as freedom of information, digitization and repatriation of Indigenous resources, Indigenous cultural and intellectual property rights, and Indigenizing or decolonizing libraries and library workforce development.

Indigenous perspectives in libraries and information institutions have been long overlooked and undervalued in the profession. Spencer Lilley’s Indigenous Information Perspectives provides an essential foundation for library and information professionals, leaders, students, faculty, and others who are on a journey to build better relationships with Indigenous Peoples. Lilley’s carefully written text will help readers better understand Indigenous information issues, including information ethics, Indigenous cultural property rights, and Indigenous knowledge in the digital world. I look forward to introducing this text to my colleagues and my students.
