information professional to embed specialist skills and knowledge which I hope your will explore and use

• To inspire future work by the profession within specialist libraries & online resource
LGBT <Information> Libraries
“As a profession, librarianship draws many people who wish to connect users to information by, in part, identifying critical information resources, in structuring users on ways to find the information they seek, and advancing user information and technology literacy” (Paul T Jaeger, 2010)
“Libraries exist to meet the information, lifelong learning and leisure needs of all sections of the community, whether heterosexual, bisexual, gay or transgendered.” (Cilip, 2010)
‘Identify and spread knowledge about good practice’
‘Working with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgendered people’ - Stories
What we already knew ....
• Research into health (particularly mental health) and social care provision for LGBT people in the UK suggests that there is an urgent need to develop, more sensitive statutory services, to acknowledge specialist support organisations and to address staff education & training needs (Ross 2010; Cant 2009; EHRC 2009; Pennant, Bayliss & Meads 2009; Carr 2008; Browne 2007; NIMHE 2007).

Rogers Story
Roger’s Story – Key Messages & Topics
1) Some LGBT individuals fear that by moving into residential care they will lose control of their lives and effectively return to the closet due to the possible ‘anti-gay’ beliefs of fellow residents and untrained staff.
2) Dignity, respect and inclusion are paramount for partners and carers of LGBT individuals. This can be achieved through communicating and including those deemed as ‘family’ by the individual being provided for.
3) Providers should not be afraid to ask questions to determine whether an LGBT individual wants to be open about being ‘out’. This can be done by using specific language which is open and inclusive of difference.
4) Acknowledge and respect the relationship by including the loved one in the provision of care and recognizing the significance of their input.
Topics
LGBT older people, Dignity, Nursing & Residential Care, Relationships, Coming out (disclosure)
