Our communities are diverse and reaching out to those who don’t use or have difficulty using library services can be difficult. What materials and services are helpful for various communities? What outreach will be most effective? LM is highlighting topical Library Science titles from our collection in occasional emails. Here are selected titles on serving underserved communities purchased recently. You can search MeLCat for LM titles and you can also check our New Library Science Collection titles at https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/libraries/libsci. Click on the ANSWER catalog link and use “Library Science Collection” as one of the search terms in the Advanced Search – Notes field and you will pull only the library science collection titles.


REMINDER: Titles are available through interlibrary loan only right now, as our MeLCat delivery is temporarily offline while we prepare to move to a new catalog. you can find the information on interlibrary loan borrowing from the Library of Michigan here - https://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/about/libuseguidelines/guideforlibraries/interlibrary-loan-guidelines. The page reference state employees, but libraries may also borrow from the collection through interlibrary loan. Please feel free to contact me if you have any issues getting a title.
