Lynne Bisko, outreach librarian, co-authored "Personal Librarians: Building Relationships for Student Success" to help other libraries create their own programs that help students succeed in their academic careers.
The book describes all aspects of a personal librarian program, including potential campus partners, diverse student populations, marketing approaches, technology integration, various assessment methods, and common pitfalls and how to avoid them.
The authors, from Elon University, Case Western Reserve University, and the University of Toronto, offer practical advice and case studies that examine how to develop, sustain, and assess personal librarian programs. Also included are best practices for implementing or improving outreach efforts through relationship development, communications efforts, and programming. The book is available from ABC-Clio.
