When visiting the DePaul University\u00a0Library, you’ve likely run across students pushing carts, shelving books and checking out material to patrons.\u00a0 Perhaps you’ve received research assistance from one of our Peer-Research Tutors in person or late at night on our instant messaging service.\u00a0 In Autumn Quarter 2013, we had the pleasure of adding a library science candidate to our team of students.<\/p>\n

Hosting practicum students is just one of the ways the Library can support efforts to build the University’s strength and education excellence and ensure the greatest return on investment in library facilities, resources, and materials for the University community.\u00a0 Enhancing our partnerships with local and regional Library and Information Science (LIS) graduate education programs helps us to identify and provide short-term field experience opportunities that can provide targeted support for library initiatives.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Hermans joined us during her last semester of graduate school at the nationally top-ranked Library and Information Science program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.\u00a0 Before her stint at Illinois, Elizabeth received a PhD in English at Purdue University with a focus on American womens and lesbian-themed literature 1880-present.\u00a0 In addition to helping students with research, Elizabeth used her expertise to build an\u00a0LGBTQ<\/a> Literature Research Guide.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The\u00a0LGBTQ Literature Research Guide<\/a>\u00a0links to DePaul Library and select Internet sources and offers a thorough bibliography of LGBTQ poetry and fiction.\u00a0 The bibliography is particularly helpful in locating LGBTQ fiction as these items aren’t always labeled as such in library catalogs making them difficult to find.\u00a0 Please share the guide with students and colleagues should it relate to your area of study.<\/p>\n

It was a great pleasure to collaborate with Elizabeth and all of the many students who work in the DePaul University Library. We couldn’t do it without them!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
