Library Volunteers Welcome! Strategies for Attracting, Retaining
and Making the Most of Willing Helpers brings together 30 chapters
from librarians and academics across the United States who've
served as: board members for library organizations; heads of
special collections; state library consultants; directors of state
library associations; outreach coordinators; archivists;
researchers; presenters at conferences; and other positions. Many
are previous contributors to anthologies, professional journals,
and have published their own books, several have won awards for
their innovative programs and service, have degrees and work
experience beyond librarianship, and volunteers within their
communities. Volunteers are a crucial component of a library and
finding the right people, keeping them, motivating them and pairing
them with the right projects is challenging; this anthology is for
librarians seeking to better their libraries.

LGBTQ news coverage in recent years, gender studies is a subject of
intense interest in popular media and a part of the curriculum at

field yet many have difficulty finding resources and programming
ideas. This book provides case studies and a range of innovative
solutions for better meeting patron needs. Twenty-seven chapters
are arranged into sections covering Research and Library
Instruction, History and Herstory, Programming, Collections and
Beyond, and Resources.
An engaging array of technology teaching programs, from the

successes and technology instruction programs applicable to patrons
and staff at public, academic and school libraries.
