Service: CF's 2003-04 Learning Theme
The CF Library is an excellent source for information about service and volunteering. The purpose of this pathfinder is to provide a general overview of the variety of resources available to help you learn more about “Service: A Value of Community,” CF’s Learning Theme for 2003-2004. If you would like assistance in locating or using these resources, please ask a Reference Librarian for help. According to The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, service can be defined as “an act of assistance or benefit to another or others” (1649)…with or “without expectation of reward” (2002).
