International Service Learning
Prof. John Wilcox (UIUC) forwarded me the url for the latest e-newsletter from The International Partnernship for Service-Learning and Leadership (IPSL).

* Bibliography:
Merrill, Martha C., and Margaret D.

Greenwich, CT: Information Age Publishers, pp. 21-40.
Barnhill, John H., and others. 2007. Promising Practices of International Service and Service Learning. Elon NC: North Carolina Campus Compact.
