Ethical Considerations: Taking Library Services into Homes
Professional ethical concerns may touch Outreach Services
Librarians more significantly than any other branch of library service.
Outreach librarians enter the homes and the lives of their patrons, and face a
variety of issues not encountered by most library professionals. Ethical
concerns surround our work, and there are few official guidelines for our
decision making. This presentation will explore these ethical concerns, offer
creative solutions, and suggest reasonable boundaries to better serve our
clientele.

This is How We Do It: A Comparative Study of the Bookmobile and Outreach
When the bookmobile drives away the library, it becomes a
mobile extension of the library. Although not confined within walls, we
still check out material, answer questions and face obstacles. Our
frontline encounters vary from stop to stop as we bring books through the front
door of our patrons. See our diverse communities up close and personal
and gain a better understanding of front-line outreach services.
