Service-Learning: Linking Library Education and Practice

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: provides examples of how to incorporate service-learning into library and information science education; gives an overview of the history of service-learning; and outlines student, faculty, and field supervisor roles.
