Heartbreaking, funny, and beautifully written, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, which is based on the author's own experiences, coupled with poignant drawings by Ellen Forney that reflect the character's art, chronicles the contemporary adolescence of one Native American boy as he attempts to break away from the life he was destined to live.

While library literature has made at least a passing effort to cover services to American Indians, most of the writings have been from a white perspective. Very little attention has been paid to how Native Americans have traditionally gathered and passed along knowledge--primarily through visual and oral means. This work examines how libraries traditionally provided service to Native Americans and how such service could be improved through an understanding of Indian traditions. Chapters present an overview of library services before World War II, the various methods Native Americans have used to preserve their heritage, and the importance of the preservation and maintenance of artifacts. The current state of library services is then explored, followed by a chapter on how new technologies are being used to expand and improve services. A final chapter offers guidelines for collection management and reveals many of the images and stereotypes to be found in much of the literature for and about American Indians.
