This practical guide written by two library professionals who have
real-world experience establishing a library student advisory board
at Penn State University's Schuylkill campus, explains the benefits
and operation of such a board in the academic library. Different
from traditional student advisory boards, the club at Penn State
Schuylkill resembles a public library's 'friends' group in which
members provide feedback and guidance for librarians while also
promoting the library and raising funds for patron-selected
materials. The activities of the club benefit not only the library
and the greater campus community, but also the club members
themselves - giving these students the opportunity to develop
leadership skills, to work with campus faculty and staff to effect
change, and to organize educational activities tailored to the
interests of their fellow students.Useful advice is here for anyone
curious about just how much time, effort, and know-how is required
to form a library student advisory board. The topics include: how
to get a club started; how to recruit new members and keep those
members active; the duties of the club advisor; basic 'do's and
don'ts' of fundraising and grant writing; and how to build a
successful relationship between the club, the library director, and
the library staff. In addition, several Penn State Schuylkill
students provide first-hand accounts of the student advisory
board's development and growth, along with personal reflections on
how the club has improved the campus community.
