Librarians, academics, and activists provide a common vocabulary and set of strategies to aid the work of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer librarians and patrons. They also provide a form of solidarity and support, a multi-faceted message of encouragement and enthusiasm for the work that libraries and librarians can do and are doing in the everyday work of librarianship. Their approaches are emerging scope, new roles and new technologies for the 21st-century librarian, recognizing the needs of emerging communities, creating communities coming together, and looking ahead: emerging questions.
