Outreach Services in Academic and Special Libraries

Outreach Services in Academic and Special Libraries examines the creation and delivery of outreach programs designed to promote awareness of the library and meet the information needs of underserved or uninformed patrons. This extensive resource shows how to use outreach programs to reach out to specific library clientele, such as academic students, remote users, non-English-speaking users, or underserved ethnic groups. You'll find case studies and models for building an outreach program, initiating interlibrary outreach partnerships, and constructing multiple models of outreach—including exhibits, talks, interactive multi-media kiosks, and workshops.
