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.
GSLIS has developed the Community Informatics program to recruit and mentor Latina/o, African-American, and other students interested in the experiences of underserved groups in society who are eager for a career that gives them the opportunity to contribute to their communities. Students in the program have a blended experience that emphasizes service learning in Chicago neighborhoods yet offers them experience with online learning and integrates them with the GSLIS on-campus program.
The two groups also work together to present “Community as Intellectual Space,” an annual conference that explores the neighborhood’s history and offers practical lessons in community building for neighborhoods across the nation.
