Special Issue of Education Libraries Highlights UIUC Program
Education Libraries, the journal of the Special Libraries Association's Education Division, has just released a special issue on "Outreach to Minority Populations" that includes an essay by the Office of Services' Emily Love.
In "Building Bridges: Cultivating Partnerships Between Libraries and Minority Student Services," Love provides an overview of the foundation she has established for substantive and sustainable collaboration between the University Library and the array of student service and academic support programs on campus designed to support the recruitment, retention, and academic success of students of color.
As I have noted before, the idea of ongoing engagement with student services programs in support of student success is a facet of academic library liaison work that has drawn an increasing amount of attention over the past few years. Love provides a good overview of the efforts in this area focused specifically on multicultural student services, and demonstrates another area of library service where UIUC is helping to set the pace.
See: Love, E. (2007). Building bridges: Cultivating partnerships between libraries and minority student services. Education Libraries, 30 (1), 13-19.
