Faculty and Librarian Partnerships, Volume 2: Customized Program Support

Academic librarians and disciplinary faculty have many partnership opportunities that can contribute greatly to student learning and experience and the academic community as a whole. Planning and scoping these collaborations, and beginning them with a clear understanding of each other’s roles and responsibilities, can help make them as rewarding and beneficial as possible. Faculty and Librarian Partnerships is packed with practical insights, real-world examples, and inspiration for the many types of faculty collaboration―from instruction to technology to outreach to collection development. Volume 1, Information Literacy and Faculty Empowerment, contains ideas, lesson plans, and sample documents for collaborating with faculty on instruction and research. Volume 2, Customized Program Support, provides information on discipline-specific projects, leveraging liaison roles, and maximizing the use of special collections. Both volumes contain detailed descriptions of different kinds of collaborations from all types of institutions: one-on-one partnerships, larger team efforts, on campus and with the wider community, virtual collaborations, and strategic organizational alliances. Whether you’re teaching one-shots or courses, are part of the student success team, or are just navigating the complex world of faculty engagement, Faculty and Librarian Partnerships can provide easy-to-implement strategies, relatable stories, and innovative ideas to inspire and guide your work.
