The Personal Librarian Program at the University of Richmond: An Interview with Lucretia McCulley

Abstract

In the fall of 2010, two well-known liberal arts institutions, Drexel University in Philadelphia (http://www.library.drexel.edu/about/programs) and Wesleyan University of Middletown, Connecticut (http://classof2014.blogs.wesleyan. edu/page/30/), began programs that provided “personal librarians” for incoming freshmen. This apparently new idea received some notice in higher education news feeds, and was even featured in Library Journal’s Newsletter (http://www.libraryjournal.com/lj/communityacademiclibraries/886821419/drexel_university_drawing_on_yale.html.csp).
