Interaction with strangers cultivates creativity and provides
opportunities for joining forces to achieve great ends. However
most people tend to avoid talking or working with people they do
not know, whether in the library, a classroom, or in academic and
nonprofit settings. And to do so is to short-circuit much of the
creative potential that is so necessary for innovation, and that
organizational stakeholders crave. Enter CoLAB. Developed and
presented by de Farber at workshops across the country, and used by
the authors to successfully spur collaboration at the University of
Florida (including faculty-librarian, librarian-librarian,
librarian-student, faculty-faculty, student-student, and
student-librarian-community member), it showcases the power of
face-to-face conversations. Leading readers through a unique
framework that breaks down barriers to collaboration while also
kindling long-lasting enthusiasm, this manual includes:
testimonials from workshop participants that demonstrate the
benefits of a Collaborating with Strangers workshop; step by step
guidance on every aspect of organizing and presenting a CoLAB
workshop; helpful photographs and diagrams that show prep and
workshops in action; ready to use surveys for assessment before and
after the workshop; grant proposal development techniques for
bringing two or more organizations together on a project; pointers
on how to adapt the workshop for ice-breakers, conference programs,
or classrooms; and samples of workshop promotion pieces that can be
adapted as needed. Libraries have always connected patrons to
resources and information; this resource shows how, through
successful group collaboration, organizations can extend that
connection to include the talents and assets of community members.
