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.
