The School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is pleased to announce the publication of Library Trends 72 (4). This issue, “Community Librarianship,” discusses the evolution of the roles and responsibilities of libraries to support and serve the communities in which they exist. Anna Maria Tammaro and Crystal Fulton served as guest editors. Please check the link above for the table of contents.
On Wednesday, March 5, Library Trends will host a webinar, which will include discussions about community librarianship with the guest editors and select authors.
This is the first Library Trends issue to be published fully open access as part of Project MUSE’s Subscribe to Open (S20) model.
Library Trends is an essential tool for professional librarians and educators alike. Each issue explores critical trends in professional librarianship and includes practical applications, thorough analyses, and literature reviews. The journal is published quarterly for the School of Information Sciences by the Johns Hopkins University Press. Subscriptions to current issues are available both online and in print.
Back issues (1952 through two years prior to the current issue) are available online through IDEALS, the digital repository for scholarly works produced at the University of Illinois. Most recently, IDEALS opened public access to Library Trends 70 (4), “Joy of Information”.
