Libraries and language preservation: A defining generational moment

This column proposes that schools of Library Science (as well as Museum Studies and related disciplines) can contribute to language preservation and advance their own financial interests by presenting themselves as key collaborators in language preservation to governments and NGOs. By funding such programs, especially in the form of grants and scholarships for minority-language students, Library Science programs can make a significant impact on language preservation, maximizing return on the limited budgets afforded to such projects.
