LIS 505G Library Advocacy
Developing skills necessary to become comfortable with the process of advocacy will help students to be advocates for themselves in their career, for their organization, and for the profession. They will reach out to community organizations for different needs: providing help or asking for help or both. Students will study current library advocacy programs, and explore existing resources from the ALA and other organizations, as well as looking ahead to the future advocacy needs and professional ideas and skills that will arise as we continue to develop and change to meet the needs of our communities.
