Abstract
Culture includes the traditions, values, beliefs, and patterns of behavior that shape and are influenced participants' social identities. Race, ethnicity, sex, gender, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic class, ability, age, and national origin are all examples of these identities. As information professionals, we celebrate cultural diversity and help our learners understand and construct their social identities.
