| contents | Answering a Special Need by Providing Academic Training for Church Libraries in Rurally Isolated Northeastern Arizona. Rothlisberg, Allen P. Budgeting Churches Course Descriptions Library Collection Development Library Education Library Facilities Library Planning Library Schools Library Science Library Services Library Technical Processes Reference Services Religious Libraries Rural Areas Two Year Colleges This report describes a course in Church Librarianship (LIB 220) that is offered by Northland Pioneer College's (NPC) Department of Library/Media Technology Program. The college has been able to promote unity in an area which is culturally and religiously diverse by offering a 3-credit course that provides an introduction to church librarianship. The course addresses the following topics: interlibrary cooperation and networking; purchasing denominational materials with limited funding; publicizing the church library; budgeting; space planning; processing and cataloging materials; volunteer staffing; providing reference services; and personnel training. Students are required to choose one of these areas to develop into a term project, and they are encouraged to contact the denomination of which they are a member to determine the status of church libraries in their local church. In addition, the students go on a field trip to existing church libraries. It is noted that since NPC is the only community college teaching this course for academic credit in Arizona, it is often used as a role model for other institutions interested in offering a similar course.
