Research Guides (Libguides) for service-learning

Posted on Monday, March 4th, 2013

Every once in awhile, I'll check around to see if there are any new examples of libraries or librarians partnering with service-learning projects in higher education.  What I've noticed is that quite a few libraries provide a service-learning libguide (research guide, for you non-librarians...and even that may not make sense!).  This seems to be the most popular example of library support for service-learning.  In most cases, these are guides to support faculty for finding articles, books, etc. about service-learning.  Some librarians have created a guide that collects together resources to support a specific service-learning course. Here are several examples: Purdue:  http://guides.lib.purdue.edu/ace University of Cincinnati, Clermont:  http://guides.libraries.uc.edu/content.php?pid=275810&sid=2272995 Michigan State University:  http://libguides.lib.msu.edu/content.php?pid=56378&sid=412895 Texas A & M: http://guides.library.tamu.edu/content.php?pid=182671&sid=1536140 Duke University:  http://guides.library.duke.edu/durham_service_learning Does your institution have a service-learning libguide?  Please share if you do!
