High-impact educational practices-as identified by George Kuh and
the Association of American Colleges & Universities-are widely
recognized as activities that promote student engagement, student
retention, and positive student learning outcomes. These practices
take different forms depending on institutional context and
priorities, as well as the learners themselves, but are all meant
to create substantive activities that deepen student learning,
engagement, and success. The Engaged Library provides case studies,
examples, and discussion of how academic libraries can create
successful partnerships to contribute to the integration of
high-impact practices on their campuses, and ways to execute these
practices well. Each chapter addresses one of the ten original
high-impact practices through the lens of library partnerships,
contributions, and opportunities, and provides ideas for and
examples of outcomes assessment. A variety of types of institutions
are included, and some chapters discuss initiatives that involve a
combination of multiple practices. Across all of the chapters and
case studies, you will find examples of well-orchestrated and
engaging models that rely on instructional teams of faculty,
advisers, librarians, and technology professionals to enhance and
deepen the practices' impact on student learning. The framework for
The Engaged Library challenges academic libraries to plan, develop,
and execute efforts to incorporate these practices intentionally,
systematically, and for greater engagement and impact. It can help
foster a shared language around high-impact practices within
academic librarianship that will highlight and articulate how
libraries have been and can increasingly become integral to the
success of these engaged learning practices across academia. As
high-impact practices become a leading measure of engaged pedagogy
on college campuses, this volume can provide an entry point for
academic librarians looking to lead, partner, and contribute to
these practices on their campus.
