Financial Education in Libraries: Guidelines and Best Practices for Service, Retired 2023
(Reference and User Services Association (RUSA), 2014-09-29) Business and Reference Services Section (BRASS)
Management of personal finances requires information. Different kinds of information are needed to safely and successfully earn, borrow, save, invest, spend, and protect against risk. A multitude of sources provide financial information, and these sources can vary widely in their opinions, reliability and objectivity. Principles of information literacy should be integrated at each level of the financial literacy guidelines. As with other literacies, libraries are uniquely qualified to address this information need. Financial literacy programs and workshops should demonstrate how to: a. Identify, access, and compare financial information from a variety of sources. b. Critically evaluate the credibility, timeliness, and point of view or bias of financial information and its sources. c. Apply financial information wisely and productively. d. Use financial information ethically. Each content area includes program outcomes that can be applied to a variety of programs, workshops and classes. Also included are suggested program topics. The intent is for these guidelines to be dynamic documents, adaptable and flexible. These recommendations are intended to grow and change through the implementation process.

Guidelines for Library Services to Spanish-Speaking Library Users 2007 Retired
(Reference and User Services Association (RUSA), 2007-01-01) Library Services to the Spanish-Speaking Committee
Although these guidelines were written by persons with professional interest in service to Spanish-speaking library users, they were written consciously for all library personnel who see a need to initiate service to this population. In that sense, the guidelines are a basic beginner's manual intended for a hypothetical librarian serving as an administrator of a medium-to-small institution having become aware of the needs of Spanish-speaking communities within its service area. As with any guidelines, these are designed to aid in the development of that service and to remind readers of professional concerns regarding the target population.

Guidelines for the Development and Promotion of Multilingual Collections and Services 2007 Retired
(Reference and User Services Association (RUSA), 2007-01-01) Library Services to the Spanish-Speaking Committee
It is the responsibility of libraries to provide an equitable level of service to all members of their communities regardless of ethnic, cultural, or linguistic background. Providing library materials for ethnic, cultural and linguistic groups should not be seen as an "additional" or "extra" service, but as an integral part of every library's services. Libraries should establish goals, objectives, and policies that integrate multilingual services into their overall work plan. These guidelines should serve as models with which to assess the provision of services and materials.
