Building Partnerships:Collaborations that work!
Julie Petr, Assistant Librarian
University of Kansas
Academic libraries (and the services they offer)
are ALIVE AND WELL!
Innovative collaborations with University partners are essential in expanding and strengthening the librarians’ traditional roles of supporting teaching, learning, and research.
Three successful collaborations
at the University of Kansas
Summer Bridge Program
Center for Teaching Excellence
Center for Service Learning
Summer Bridge Programs
Provide a library tour and a library contact for program participants
Develop a partnership with a Bridge Program and offer library orientation and a single library instruction to program participants
Create a partnership with the Bridge Program instructors and offer a one-credit class in research skills and information literacy
Centers for Teaching Excellence
Attend programming that is being offered campus-wide and network with faculty
Develop and offer information literacy workshops to faculty and graduate students through the CTE
Under the aegis of the CTE, collaborate with a course instructor and GTA’s to build in scaffolded assignments
Center for Service Learning
Provide library instruction for a class that is doing a service learning project, including attending the presentation, reviewing research materials, providing one-on-one consultations
Contact the Center, investigate service learning opportunities, approach a faculty member about engaging in a service learning project
Become a “co-instructor” in a class, attending class sessions and providing research assistance throughout course
These are examples of collaborations at the University of Kansas.
