Libraries are exploring new roles and new partnerships on college
campuses in order to improve students' experiences and enable
learning outside the classroom. But other than faculty members, who
are librarians' potential partners? The student affairs
professionals are responsible for everything from residence halls
to service learning to career exploration and make up one of the
fastest growing groups in higher education - they are the experts
in student development and the student experience. However,
librarians and student affairs professionals are largely unfamiliar
with each other's roles in student learning. By using multiple
focus groups, Long describes the experiences and perceptions of
librarians and student affairs professionals at several four-year,
residential colleges and universities. He identifies ways
librarians and student affairs professionals share common values
and can approach partnerships successfully - but also the barriers
that result when these two groups don't fully understand each
other's roles in student learning. This book is the perfect road
map for librarians and student affairs professionals alike who are
seeking partners for campus collaborations.
