Energized by the learning experience of the TLAM class’ projects and activities, SLIS students created a new TLAM Student Group in the fall of 2011.
The Mission of the TLAM Student Group is to inform and engage members of the UW-Madison community on the issues and challenges found in tribal libraries, archives, and museums through service learning. We seek to build and sustain meaningful partnerships with Wisconsin’s Native American communities, sharing our skills, knowledge, and resources to identify and address specific areas of information, literacy, and cultural preservation needs.
The TLAM Student Group also plays a supportive role to the TLAM Class, helping to sustain the different service learning projects year-round by continuing build relationships with our partners and assist in identifying new service opportunities.
