Description

Poster

A library task force was charged with exploring service learning initiatives across our campus, and how the library might provide greater support to these initiatives. Our work has resulted in organizing a series of panel discussions attended by librarians and members of the University community. These discussions have helped us understand the landscape and have prepared us for more involvement in service learning projects.
