One Book, Once Campus is a program that the Library will be
doing every year, tying the work into the year's campus theme.
The Library hopes to continue working with the American Democracy
Project and with the General Education Committee on future
One Book, One Campus selections and activities.
The Schurz Library and the One Book, One Campus committee
would like your suggestions on potential titles for next year's
One Book, One Campus title. When thinking of possible titles,
please keep the following criteria in mind
Is the title still in print and available in paperback?
Would the title have a wide-appeal to students in a variety of disciplines?
Can a connection be made to the title and the campus theme? The
campus theme for 2006-2007 is "Diversity and Dialogue."
