  • The Oregon State University Valley Library Technology Dept. has provided extensive technology support including server space for the database and web pages, oversight of the creation of the web site, and invaluable technical consultation and services. We would especially like to thank Matthew Gonzales for his liaison and technical supervision.

  • Appreciations go to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Library Dean Patricia Iannuzzi and Web support staff Kee Choi, Alex Dolski and Brian Egan for generously making it possible to bring the BEP site to its new home. We would also like to acknowledge the support of the UNLV Libraries and College of Education for supporting the work of the two co-founders as they continue their scholarship in the area of bibliotherapy.

  • Special thanks to all the Oregon State University Graduate Students in the Counseling and Supervision Program; they have donated their time and expertise over the years since the inception of this project. Without their assistance this project would not have become what it is. We appreciate that they are advocating for future students and clients everywhere.
