Abstract

At the heart of research is knowing about what has been written or said about a given topic. This essay tells of a journey that culminates in putting together a body of such information. It also demonstrates a partnership between researchers who gather knowledge and librarians who organize that knowledge so that others might have access to it. Several years ago a group of faculty, administrators and others at Indiana State University in Terre Haute, Indiana began a reading group around servant-leadership. It started out as a small and very informal group of people who gathered about once a month to read and discuss selected Robert Greenleaf writings, his management philosophy, and others' interpretations of that philosophy. We also explored how all that might affect us personally, in our work, in our lives, and particularly in the classroom since we were all working in a university setting. The group went on for a couple of years and ultimately formalized itself as the Alliance for Servant-Leadership under the leadership of former Indiana State University President John W. Moore.
