Title: From Outreach to Equity: Innovative Models of Library Policy and Practice
Editor: Robin Osborne

Summary:
Outreach, in tough economic times, can be a hard service to justify. However, it is also one of the easiest ways to build community goodwill and develop non-library users into library users by going to where they are. Split into six main topic areas (services outside library walls, outreach inside the library, outreach using information technology, technical services, advocacy and outreach, and staff development), the essays included in this slim volume are packed with ideas on how to grow your services.
