  • GUERILLA LIBRARIANSHIP

     

    I came across this term at the University of Virginia, and it was used to describe

     

    programs and services being developed by Library staff as they increasingly took the

     

    Library outside the library building(s). Examples include library staff setting up

     

    Information Desk outposts in common student areas such as Student Union buildings,

     

    and Halls of Residence. The concept was also being explored at UBC, where library

     

    staff were considering setting up a Roving Librarian program. Staff members,

     

    equipped with laptops and taking advantage of the wireless environment, would set up

     

    Ask Us Here stands at various high use student venues / locations, and during various

     

    high activity programs such as Orientation.
