AbstractThis article examines of the benefits of the journal club of the Rohrbach Library of Kutztown University. First and foremost, journal clubs help with the challenge of keeping up with the large amount of literature that is published. Opportunities to interact with colleagues and learn on an informal basis make the journal club a fun, social respite from daily, routine work, often performed in isolation from other units in the library. Two challenges were observed. One was the decline in attendance and another was that the lack of interest in moderating has caused the same few librarians to lead multiple discussions. To foster further interest in the group, one possibility is to open participation to library staff and other campus professionals with an interest in the library.
