What is the Bowker Library School Initiative?
The Bowker Library School Initiative is a program designed to foster an ongoing, supportive relationship with library schools through the provision of free database training, materials and access to Library School students and faculty who have limited or no access to some of our flagship electronic resources.
To further this mission, Bowker’s Educational Liaison, Paul Hoffman, MLS, will personalize an educational program that meets the individualized needs of your university.
Through the provision of free database access, printed materials and email/phone support for your students, Bowker can provide the tools needed to integrate BooksInPrint.com or GlobalBooksInPrint.com within your library school’s curriculum.
