Extract

Librarians have always served a wider clientele than those we are expected to serve. In part this is due to our reluctance to question the status of individuals who come before us and in part it is due to the public service orientation of most librarians. In college and university libraries this wider clientele includes people of all ages from the community, former students, visiting scholars who come to the library and, through interlibrary loan, many others long distances away. Some librarians would say that “outreach” is what every good librarian does.
