| Summary |
"In a period of economic turmoil, library patrons of all types, ages, and educational levels require basic instruction in managing their finances. The Library's Role in Supporting Financial Literacy for Patrons is a collection of articles from librarians in different parts of the United States and Canada with a command of financial literacy who can communicate what they know to help users solve their financial literacy information problems. This collection has three sections: an overview of financial literacy (what it means, what needs exist among library patrons, and what approaches have been used to date), resources that are or should be available (such as collections, skill sets, and programs), and a series of case studies that demonstrate successes and best practices"-- Provided by publisher |
