"Community Building" Column in the journal, Reference and User Services Quarterly. A Librarian at Every Table. No. 346.

The column "Community Building" in Reference and User Services Quarterly will end in summer 2006.

The column began in Fall 2000 with the essay, “Librarians and Comprehensive Community Initiatives.” Reference and User Services Quarterly 40 (Fall 2000): 20-22. The intention was to develop ideas that had been set forth in the book, A Place at the Table, by Kathleen de la Peña McCook (American Library Association, 2000). The columns were also viewed as a print counterpart to the website, A Librarian at Every Table, that was the forerunner of this blog.
