Abstract
Librarians and Cooperative Extension Service (CES) professionals in the United States have common missions to make authoritative information available to their constituencies. Both professions have long traditions of service and success in the dissemination of information. This paper explores how librarians can partner with CES and contribute unique skills and expertise. After a summary of the history of CES and the historical connection among land grants, extensions, and agriculture, three case reports are presented that outline how three librarians at land-grant universities have worked with CES.
