SLIS Lecturer Ellen Greenblatt recently had her new book Serving LGBTIQ Library and Archives Users: Essays on Outreach, Service, Collections and Access published. The book features articles and personal accounts of individuals’ experiences that demonstrate the importance of library services to gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and questioning patrons.

Greenblatt expresses thanks in the Acknowledgements section of her book:

“I’d also like to express my gratitude to the students in my online graduate classes on LGBTIQ issues and services at the San José State School of Library and Information Sciences (SLIS). Your enthusiasm is a wonderful impetus for my continued research in this subject area, and your questions and insights have helped me focus on particular topics. Thanks as well to the SLIS administration for offering me the opportunity to teach the class, a truly rewarding end re-energizing experience.”

Greenblatt is associate director for Scholarly Communication and Digital Initiatives at Auraria Library at the University of Colorado in Denver. She is a SLIS lecturer and teaches LIBR 220 (Topic:”Topic: Services and Resources for People with Disabilities”) and has previously taught LIBR 220 (Topic:”LGBTIQ Resources and Issues”).
