The Library Student Advisory Board: Why Your Academic Library Needs It and How to Make It Work By Amy L. Deuink, Marianne Seiler


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.

The Enduring Library: Technology, Tradition, and the Quest for Balance



From one of the profession's most prolific writers and passionate scholars, this book is billed as a "manifesto" that will help librarians strike a balance between the ideas of technology dominance and the tradition of library service. Gorman's premise is that to understand the impact of technology on society and libraries, we need to have a clear view of the history and evolution of communications technology. He holds that library life has always been affected by technology, suggesting that we are not in a transformational time but at an important point in the evolution of libraries. He also examines reading in the digital world and the nature of the Web, library work and the future of libraries (focusing on reference and cataloging), and two ailments of modern living--information overload and stress. Librarians and library administrators interested in forecasting, information technology, library trends, and professional ethics will want to read this insightful and provocative book
