Freundeskreise und Fördervereine

In addition to addressing topics of practical relevance to the work of library support groups including advocacy efforts and fundraising – this anthology presents example projects from actual practice worthy of emulation. It clearly discusses prerequisites for success as well as potential areas of conflict. Ultimately, it aims to inspire support groups as well as demonstrate their value to libraries.
This publication was produced as part of a project seminar held at Humboldt University in Berlin. It is directed at library support groups, library employees, as well as scholars of the library sciences.
