Abstract

In this session we will look at understandings of mālama ʻāina, through the framework of the ahupuaʻa system, and apply those guiding principles to the contemporary functionality of a library. We will discuss how traditional ideas of resource management can serve as a parallel to the various aspects of library operations such as creating policy, collection development, partnerships and collaboration, community engagement, and more. We will also look at how Hawaiian understandings of environment can better ground and sustain our libraries for a thriving community.
