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:

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!

Thanks, Lori! I’ll take a look. Nice to know someone out there is stopping by every once in awhile, too
