Abstract
Faculty and librarians wedded together in mutual bibliographic-instructional bliss is regarded as “mythical” by some librarians, and this is supported in the literature. This paper, however, concentrates on sharing an exciting experience in visionary planning for the critical treatment of information to meet user needs. In September of 1985, “Foundations for Ministry” (“Foundations”) was introduced to the Interdenominational Theological Center (I.T.C.), an ecumenical graduate school of theology, one of the two graduate and four undergraduate institutions that comprise the Atlanta University Center, Inc. (AUC). “Foundations” is a basic interdisciplinary course designed to introduce the student to Christian ministry with emphasis on ministry within the Black witnessing community.
