Augustana human library

I have previously mentioned an iniative at the Augustana Library, University of Alberta, Canada: the human library. This consists of events where "people who have experienced prejudice or stereotyping in life" are invited to become human books; to come into the library in a relaxed coffee-chat environment, to tell their story and help their "readers" understand their stories. This is part of the information literacy programme at Augustana. I just noticed that there is a paper on this:
