Public library staff members, administrators, and trustees advise their colleagues on developing and implementing systemic strategies for library services that are inclusive, long-term, and based on the principles of fairness and balance. They provide models for services inside and outside the library walls, services using information technology, technical services, advocacy and outreach, and staff development.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Defining equity as "equal access to everyone, anywhere, anytime, and in any format," Carla Hayden took equity of access as her theme when she was American Library Association president 2003-04. This volume, edited by Osborne (outreach services consultant, Westchester Library System, NY), with a preface by Hayden and an introduction coauthored with Satia Orange (director, American Library Association Office of Literacy and Outreach Services), suggests that if we "reframe what we know as `outreach' so that it is based on `equity' rather than underserved populations, we can open a new window to information access and, more importantly, service delivery." Osborne and Orange note that services to specific categories of users are often segregated and funded with soft money (funds not in a library's permanent, ongoing budget); a shift in the way we conceive of such "special services" can bring them into the mainstream. Presenting a strong argument for their thesis are 44 successful program models from around the country, organized into six topic areas-services outside the library, services within the library, information technology, technical services, advocacy, and staff development. As with any compilation, the contributions are uneven. Taken as a whole, though, this volume is inspirational and exciting. Recommended for all library managers and outreach librarians.-Rhea Joyce Rubin, Independent Lib. Consultant, Oakland Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
