Discover collaborative possibilities for your library beyond mere
memberships in bibliographic utilities Libraries Beyond Their
Institutions: Partnerships That Work illustrates the remarkable
range of cooperative activities in which libraries are engaged in
order to provide the best possible service. Increasingly,
librarians recognize the need to link their institutions to the
world around them as part of their obligation to enhance the
integration of digital information, not only for students in
academic settings, but also throughout all levels of society. An
excellent companion and complement to Libraries Within Their
Institutions: Creative Collaborations (Haworth) from the same
editors, this unique book examines the variety of ways librarians
work with community organizations, government agencies,
professional organizations, minority communities, and city
governments in their efforts to serve not just students in academic
settings, but all of society. Libraries Beyond Their Institutions:
Partnerships That Work reflects the growing understanding of the
key role played by libraries in the development of civil society.
This unique book examines the variety of possibilities for
collaborations outside institutions, including the ways librarians
function in a variety of other campus settings, such as writing
centers, teaching excellence centers, and academic departments in
support of teaching, learning, and research; partnerships with
graduate school, and information resources management to preserve
theses and dissertations electronically; promoting civic
partnerships; initiating a campus-wide information literacy
resource; and partnering with government agencies to form a data
