Cross Collaborations: Librarians Stepping Out Of The Box To Serve Students, Denelle Eads, Rebecca Freeman, Valerie A. Freeman Jan 2015

Cross Collaborations: Librarians Stepping Out Of The Box To Serve Students, Denelle Eads, Rebecca Freeman, Valerie A. Freeman

Collaborative Librarianship

Despite declarations that libraries are the heart of the institution, they are frequently overlooked or taken for granted. Collaborations are a way librarians can more fully participate in the culture of the institutions they serve. A review of the literature finds an emphasis on collaboration with faculty members, both full-time and adjunct, but there is less emphasis on the many departments in academia that do not have faculty members. As academic librarians position themselves at the heart of their institutions, it is vital to work with all departments and not focus solely on faculty-based departments. This article highlights the literature …

Book Raider: Connecting Patrons Of Texas Tech University Libraries With Resources Anytime, Anywhere, Ryan Cassidy, Kenny Ketner Ketner, Ryan Litsey Litsey, Matthew Mceniry

Collaborative Librarianship

Given the mandate of Texas Tech University to expand its research mission, Texas Tech University Libraries developed new library services through the Book Raider project that allows patrons to use mobile apps to check library holdings and to order materials through interlibrary loan. Library literature shows an increasing desire among patrons to use this type of technology and suggests an open door exists for librarians to create these new modes of access and delivery. Book Raider, a collaborative project of several departments of Texas Tech University Libraries, involved the development of various types of apps across several technology platforms, a …

Low-Hanging Fruit: Leveraging Short-Term Partnerships To Advance Academic Library Outreach Goals, Erin E. Meyer Jan 2014

Low-Hanging Fruit: Leveraging Short-Term Partnerships To Advance Academic Library Outreach Goals, Erin E. Meyer

Collaborative Librarianship

For academic libraries wishing to extend their outreach, existing and potential short-term, project-based collaborations are the low-hanging fruit. Such partnerships include student organizations, various institutional offices, and councils of one kind or another. Keys to success for libraries include flexibility, personal relationships, openness to work outside of academic units and outside of the library, strategic planning, knowing the resources needed and those that already exist, and a desire and ability to move from conversation to action. Leveraging these types of collaboration can enable the library to extend its reach far more than in acting alone

Academic Librarians And The Sustainability Curriculum: Building Alliances To Support A Paradigm Shift, Madeleine K. Charney Jan 2014

Academic Librarians And The Sustainability Curriculum: Building Alliances To Support A Paradigm Shift, Madeleine K. Charney

Collaborative Librarianship

Sustainability is a fast evolving movement in higher education demonstrated by a proliferation of academic programs, co-curricular initiatives, and campus projects. Sustainability is now viewed as vital to the mission of many institutions of higher education, creating a paradigm shift that librarians can help advance with their collective interdisciplinary expertise. A review of LibGuides (online resource guides) showed that academic librarians are involved with sustainability efforts on many campuses and have a role in shaping curriculum-related activities. The author administered a survey to creators of sustainability LibGuides during the spring of 2011, posting the survey on library listservs as well. …

Planning From The Middle Out: Phase 1 Of 2cul Technical Services Integration, Kate Harcourt, Jim Leblanc Jan 2014

Planning From The Middle Out: Phase 1 Of 2cul Technical Services Integration, Kate Harcourt, Jim Leblanc

Collaborative Librarianship

The Columbia and Cornell University Libraries’ partnership is now in its fourth year. Its composite acronym (2CUL), which condenses a doubling of the two participating libraries’ initial letters, in itself reflects the very nature of the collaboration’s strategic purpose: a broad integration of library activities in a number of areas – including collection development, acquisitions and cataloging, e-resources and digital management, and digital preservation. In what is perhaps their boldest, most ambitious 2CUL initiative to date, the two libraries have begun planning for and have taken the first steps towards an integration of their substantial technical services operations. In this …

Enhancing Collaboration Through The Scholarship Of Teaching And Learning, Michael Perini Jan 2014

Enhancing Collaboration Through The Scholarship Of Teaching And Learning, Michael Perini

Collaborative Librarianship

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is a discipline that emphasizes instructional development and enhanced student learning through the dissemination of practitioner theory and experience. The discipline, however, primarily considers the role and perspectives of higher education and K-12 faculty. Yet SoTL also has pragmatic implications for librarians as it promotes instructional improvement, collaborative research, networking, and professional development across the academy.

Just The Two Of Us: Those Who Co-Teach, Co-Learn, Talitha R. Matlin, Allison Carr Jan 2014

Just The Two Of Us: Those Who Co-Teach, Co-Learn, Talitha R. Matlin, Allison Carr

Collaborative Librarianship

Teaching librarians are always seeking opportunities to improve their professional practice. Traditional forms of professional and personal development—attending workshops and conferences and reading the scholarly and practitioner literature—are valuable and useful, but often ignore the powerful personal connections we have between colleagues. Using a narrative approach, this article will provide two teacher librarians’ stories about their experiences with team teaching as a method of professional development. Turning the traditional mentorship model on its head, each librarian contributed equally to the relationship and took the risk of being vulnerable in order to learn from one another. A newer librarian, looking to …

Collaboration In Etextbook Publishing: A Case Study, Erin Wimmer, Anne Morrow, Alice Weber

Collaborative Librarianship

The need for a tailored textbook for a distance class of PhD nursing students led to a collaboration between a College of Nursing faculty member and librarians from academic and health sciences libraries.

The Research with Diverse Populations eTextbooki (aka eBook, http://www.rdp.lib.utah.edu) was designed to be openly accessible and structured to expand as future students make additional contributions.

The Blended Desk And Its Consequences On Collaboration, Christopher Magee, Michael Perini Jan 2014

The Blended Desk And Its Consequences On Collaboration, Christopher Magee, Michael Perini

Collaborative Librarianship

This article discusses the complications arising from the implementation of the “blended desk” model in an academic library and its influence on intra-organizational collaboration. Blended desks combine the physical spaces of traditional Circulation and Reference desks and staff in an arrangement with a new desk and multi-skilled individuals. Traditionally dissimilar mentalities and skill sets of the Circulation and Reference personnel along with a culture reflecting typical academic hierarchy all create impediments to the success of this service model. Given this, various reconsiderations of the blended desk model are suggested.
