摘要：SIG/III has been providing a forum for discussing international information issues for the past 30 years. As if to highlight further its global mission in an increasingly interconnected world, in 2013 ASIS&T formally changed its name to reflect its members’ “commitment to international cooperation and global efforts to increase the influence of information science education, research and applications” [ 1 , p. 5]. The theme of connections is even central to the upcoming 2014 ASIS&T Annual Meeting ( Connecting Collections, Cultures and Communities ). We take advantage of these opportunities to reflect on the plethora of issues faced by information professionals and researchers, especially those whose work is concerned with community building, outreach, advocacy and social inclusion. Specifically, we consider the role that the predominantly non-indigenous library community in Canada – and other countries with parallel histories – can play in realizing visions of equality and redress in a post-apology era.
