The Dual Degree Mentorship program at NYU Libraries is bringing library science students together with authors of books on librarianship in a project called The Author Interview Series With Library Students. Beginning September 13, the project will result in a series of blog posts linked to specific titles from Litwin Books' Library Juice Press, which specializes in titles that examine theoretical and practical issues in librarianship from a critical perspective, for a readership of librarians and students of library science.
In the Dual Degree program, students earn an MSLIS degree from Long Island University's Palmer SchooI and a master's degree from NYU, and are paired with librarian mentors from NYU Libraries. Students in the new project will conduct interviews with Library Juice Press authors on issues of critical importance to librarianship. Then, working with their mentors to consider the application of the author's ideas to real-world librarianship, they will publish monthly on the Litwin Books & Library Juice Press Blogspace. The Author Interview Series, administered by Laurie Murphy, NYU Libraries' Community Engagement Associate, will post on the second Tuesday of the month through May 2023, resuming in August 2023.
