From Passive To Pervasive: Changing Perceptions Of The Library‟S Role Through Intra-Campus Partnerships, Isaac Gilman, Marita Kunkel

With a long history of collaboration, the libraries have developed an ideal cooperative arrangement for acquiring electronic content that is accessible across all campuses.
