"Student Services: A Handbook for the Profession" traces its origins back to a conversation that Allen Jossey-Bass had with the authors of the book's first edition, Ursula Delworth and Gary R. Hanson, over twenty years ago. That conversation charted a course for developing a handbook for practicing student affairs administrators that has continued through its three editions. Not only is the "Handbook" one of today's most widely read texts in student affairs graduate programs, it remains a critical stimulus and reference source for all those who aspire to work or who do work in student affairs positions. It can also serve as a resource for others in academic institutions who wish to more fully understand student affairs programs and services.

The refrain that reappears throughout Leveraging Wikipedia is that Wikipedia and GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives, museums) are natural allies and a fair amount of text is dedicated to convincing the reader of this. It promises practical strategies for putting this alliance to work and ultimately delivers on that promise, if in a circuitous and somewhat repetitive way. After the first few chapters it becomes clear that there are only so many established ways for library professionals to harness the audience and infrastructure of Wikipedia for the benefit of their library. The authors offer a wide array of examples for how they tailored these tried and true methods for the specific niche of their work. The task of building on this existing foundation with innovative new partnerships between Wikipedia and libraries rests on the shoulders of the reader.
