The Library Student Advisory Board - Why Your Academic Library Needs It and How to Make It Work - Amy L. Deuink - Paperback Bog

Description

This is a practical guide written by two professionals with real-world experience establishing a library student advisory board. Penn State University''s Schuylkill campus library has such a board, operating beautifully. Different from traditional student advisory boards, the club at Penn State Schuylkill resembles a public library''s "friends" group. The activities of the club benefit not only the library and campus but the club members themselves. Just how much time, effort, and know-how is required to form a library student advisory board? Here is the answer. Useful advice is offered on how to get a club started, how to recruit new members and keep them active, the duties of the club advisor, basic "do''s and don''ts" of fundraising, and how to build a successful relationship between the club, the library director, and the library staff.
