Service Learning - Linking Library Education and Practice (Paperback)

As concern grows over the relevance of a master's degree to the professional work of librarianship, more and more schools will be looking to incorporate service-learning into the student experience. Roy brings together authors from the top-tier schools to outline their programs and surrounding efforts and provide examples of how to incorporate service learning into library and information science education; give an overview of the history of service-learning; and, outline the student, faculty, and field supervisor roles. ""Service Learning"" serves as the rare educational resource that will tie professional and formalized education together.
