Every librarian who teaches in an academic library setting
understands the complexities involved in partnering with teaching
faculty. Relationships Between Teaching Faculty and Teaching
Librarians recounts the efforts of librarians and faculty working
together in disciplines across the board to create and sustain
connections crucial to the success of library instruction. This
unique collection of essays examines various types of partnerships
between librarians and faculty (networking, coordination, and
collaboration) and addresses the big issues involved, including
teaching within an academic discipline, the intricacies of
assigning grades, faculty perceptions of library instruction, and
the changing role of the reference librarian. Education is the main
focus of reference service in today's academic libraries and
librarians teach a variety of single-session, course-related,
course-integrated, or credit-bearing courses in nearly every
discipline. Relationships Between Teaching Faculty and Teaching
Librarians reflects the experiences of librarians, teaching
faculty, and library directors, whose perspectives range from
cynicism to cautious optimism to idealism when it comes to working
with teaching faculty. The book includes case studies, surveys,
sample questionnaires, statistics, and a toolkit for establishing
an effective library liaison program, and examines the teaching and
learning environment, course growth and maintenance, and the
professor librarian model. Relationships Between Teaching Faculty
and Teaching Librarians presents lessons learned from seeking a
common ground including: a successful faculty/librarian
collaboration for educational psychology and counseling a library
research project for freshman engineering students a
semester-by-semester look at a collaboratively taught graduate
research and writing course a survey that determines how librarians
and library directors feel about teaching outside the library an
analysis of librarians' attitudes toward faculty an analysis of
attitudes that influence faculty collaboration in library
instruction a look at innovative methods of increasing the teaching
roles of librarians and much more! The Middle States Commission on
Higher Education (MSA/CHE) has mandated that information literacy
be included as part of a general education requirement. If your
faculty wasn't calling for library instruction before the mandate,
it probably is now. Relationships Between Teaching Faculty and
Teaching Librarians will help librarians establish communication
with faculty that provides a solid foundation for coursework in all
disciplines.
