The fifth volume in this series focuses on creating partnerships
and developing new roles for libraries in the 21st century. It
includes such topics such as consulting, coaching, assessment and
engagement partnerships, university commercialization, adult
student support, librarian-faculty partnerships in developing and
supporting new academic courses, and creating and staffing the
information commons. The concept of embedded librarianship is
touched upon in the context of extending the role of the librarian
outside the library. The chapters in this volume demonstrate that
just as students are extending the ways in which they learn,
librarians must embrace new roles and modalities if they are to
provide the types of support required by patrons. A typical example
of growing importance: massive open online courses (MOOCs) create
challenges and opportunities as they are constantly evolving; they
change fundamentally the way students interact with teachers, their
fellow students, any course content, and existing or new library
services. To survive, librarians need to be engaged in ways that
push beyond current professional limits in order to better support
the needs of learners. Doing this will not be an easy task, but one
that librarians are certainly up to. It is hoped that this volume,
and the series in general, will be a valuable and exciting addition
to the discussions and planning surrounding the future directions,
services, and careers in the 21st-century academic library.
