Creating A Culture Of Grant Writing In A Multi-Campus Academic Setting, Christopher Shaffer, Michael Pearce, Alyssa Martin
Creating A Culture Of Grant Writing In A Multi-Campus Academic Setting, Christopher Shaffer, Michael Pearce, Alyssa Martin
The Southeastern Librarian
Grant writing is more important than ever in an era of “proving our worth” at academic libraries. For small libraries wanting to provide their communities with unique programming opportunities, such grant writing is often essential, because the funding for programming is often nonexistent, or minimal. As librarians work to make grant writing a priority at their institutions, they must be mindful of the importance of building relationships with the university administration, various colleges and departments within the university, individual faculty members, staff, students, and members of the surrounding community. In an era of falling enrollment, budget cuts and pressure from …

An Assessment Of Frequently Challenged Lgbtq* Books In Alabama Public Libraries, Sonja Sheffield
The Southeastern Librarian
Libraries are often seen as safe places for all people in a community. Libraries draw in diverse members of the community who all feel generally safe in the public space (Leckie and Hopkins, 2002, p. 353). Libraries often strive to be places of “no judgment” where all are treated equally and can have their information needs met in an unbiased fashion (American Library Association, 2006). There are also initiatives in many libraries to serve various marginalized groups in a community, such as immigrants (Shen, 2013), those with disabilities (Ross and Atkin, 2002), and the homeless (Ayers, 2006). Though civil rights …

Self-Published Books: Should Libraries Buy Or Not?, Jennifer Culley
Self-Published Books: Should Libraries Buy Or Not?, Jennifer Culley
The Southeastern Librarian
Self-publishing has been around as long as books have existed. Before there were big publishing houses there were authors publishing their own works. Although there is now an abundance of publishers, a large number of self-published books are still being produced each year.

There is some belief out there that self-published materials …

This experience granted me a better understanding of my job: I am not just an information keeper, I am a life transformer. And so are you. Be proud to be a librarian!
