目的-社区外展通常被认为是资源和人才的战略组合，这将超过个人单独工作的能力。介绍了南卡罗来纳州的医科大学的项目，主要针对农村，少数民族population.Design/方法/approach -方案和伙伴关系，包括利基群体和全州范围内的人口，与赞助商，包括政府机构，杜克捐赠和当地城市。图书馆员熟悉并已经成功地接触到卫生专业人员社区;然而，接触到外行社区更为复杂。学者们习惯于负责，而且往往关注点很窄。与社区一起，试图找出困难和陷阱，以及结果是重要的长期。结果-虽然图书馆员正在提高他们的工作能力，在社区外展项目的任何能力，大学和图书馆自然不支持这项工作。然而，对于一些图书馆员的参与提供了一个令人振奋的experience.Originality/值-该文件表明有一个图书馆员作为社区外展团队的一部分的价值。图书管理员通常对团队很有价值。很多时候，图书管理员所做的工作根本就不会被完成。
Purpose - Community outreach is generally stated to be a strategic combination of resources and talents that will exceed the capabilities of individuals working alone. Describes the Medical University of South Carolina's projects which target largely rural, minority populations.Design/methodology/approach - Programs and partnerships include niche groups and state-wide populations, with sponsors including government agencies, the Duke Endowment and local cities. Librarians are familiar with and are already successful at reaching out to the community of health professionals; however, reaching out to the lay community is more complex. Academics are used to being in charge and often have a narrow point-of-focus. Together with the community an attempt was made to identify difficulties and pitfalls, as well as outcomes that are important for the long term.Findings - Although librarians are improving their ability to work in any capacity within community outreach projects, universities and libraries do not naturally support this work. However, for some librarians participation provides an exhilarating experience.Originality/value - The paper indicates the value of having a librarian as part of the community outreach team. Librarians are often of great value to the team. Very often the work done by the librarian would not have been done at all.
