[Michlib-l] LM's Library Science Collection - Literacies in the Library

[Reish, Karren (MDE)]

Facilitating literacy is a core value and function for libraries. But what is literacy? Libraries focus on reading literacy with lapsit programming and summer reading, but we also provide support for literacy needs like English as a Second Language, digital literacy, media literacy and financial literacy. What programming options are out there for this broad perspective on literacy?

LM is highlighting topical Library Science titles from our collection in occasional emails. Here are selected titles on literacy programming and services 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 references 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.

The Library Science Collection at LM is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
