Abstract
This paper discusses the intentions and outcomes of aservice-learning course in LIS. Interviews with students who had recentlycompleted the course provided insight into how the course had changed theirperspective on their community. The interviews sought students' perspectiveson their own empathetic development, sense of community, and impediments incompleting the course. The students reported increased knowledge andunderstanding of the people who live in their community during the course ofthe semester. Traditional students, though, experienced fewer problemscompleting the coursework than non-traditional students, which should beconsidered when implementing service-learning courses at the graduate level.
