Featured Program
Paseo Boricua
Since 2002, the Graduate School of Library and Information Science (GSLIS) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Paseo Boricua, the neighborhood considered the heart of Chicago’s Puerto Rican community, have enjoyed a productive and inspired relationship.
Collaborative projects have included: organizing and providing access to the collection at the Andrés Figueroa Cordero Library and Community Information and Technology Center; hosting reading groups and research study groups for an area high school; an award-winning Saturday street academy in community librarianship for high school students; and partnering with community members to apply for grants to facilitate in-depth research in the realm of innovative technology use in schools and youth-led community librarianship.
