This is done on the students' own time and is up to them to schedule. They choose a library/librarian to visit from a list of volunteers. Sometimes individual librarians volunteer, and sometime the whole staff will make themselves available for "coffee and cookies" to chat to the student. It's a great way to get library students out in the field to learn about various libraries and roles, and to network with established librarian. <br /><br />When I was in library school I participated in Partners Week, and now I am a librarian at the library I visited. That's libraryland full circle!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01550432726855043889noreply@blogger.com
