Public Engagement. SPEC Kit 312. Association of Research Libraries, September 2009.
Description
This SPEC Kit explores the ways in which traditional “outreach” programs
in academic libraries are evolving to address the emergent concept of
“public engagement” at the institutional level and the degree to which
the library is integrated into campus-level efforts to promote public
engagement. It includes documentation from respondents in the form of mission
statements, descriptions of library engagement programs, examples of
awards program, scholarship of engagement information, and job
descriptions.
