..".Material presented here is replete with concrete new ideas not
only for collaboration, but also for funding, training, personal
involvement, Web-based instruction, and other concepts too numerous
to mention. And the best thing about these ideas is that they are
not the usual endlessly-discussed theories these are ideas that
have worked and some which have failed in the real world...Despite
the myriad new works available today related to library instruction
in general and information literacy in particular, none is devoted
solely to collaborative efforts between teaching faculty and
librarians. This is where Library User Education: Powerful
Learning, Powerful Partnerships shines just as in the real world,
it's all about collaboration." Angela Weiler, Portal"
This guide to developing a vision and devising plans for changing
higher education's information technology infrastructure will help
academic librarians create more effectively functional libraries,
campus IT organizations, and new classrooms. Seventeen experts
share their visions and methodologies for - as well as actual
experiences with - achieving campus-wide IT leadership roles.
Trends in and strategies for departmental planning, public policy,
capital investments, intellectual property, teacher education,
reorganization of university staff structures, and integration of
IT services throughout the university are all thoroughly examined.
This important book will help both librarians and campus
administrators rethink definitions, strategies, and expectations
for what constitutes success. The collective experiences and advice
of the 17 experts guide readers in advancing both IT on their
campuses and their careers.
Barbara Dewey and Loretta Parham join 50 other librarians,
including Tracie Hall, Emma Bradford Perry, and Hannelore B Rader,
to explore one of the major issues facing the profession -
diversity. This innovative guide explores how librarians can ensure
that their services, staff, and collections truly reflect our
multicultural society. Chapters cover strategic planning;
recruiting and retaining minorities; reaching out to new users;
marketing to underrepresented populations; building collections for
marginalized groups; overcoming the digital divide; assessment; and
other important topics. The contributors provide numerous forms and
documents including library diversity plans; residency and intern
job descriptions; recruitment materials; programming plans and
documents; and web resources. With guidance drawn from real
experience in public and academic libraries, this unique guide will
help to make diversity a reality in libraries.
