Who we are
We are 13 librarians, an archivist, and a web specialist from the University of Minnesota. We approached this project from the perspective of library staff whose constituents are in a university setting. Ours is not the only perspective - perhaps we are not seeing the ways that this guide misses or marginalizes other points of view. We invite you to contact us to share your input for consideration for website content (Click on the "Email contact form" link on the left panel).
