What do Student Development and Academic Affairs have in common when it comes to student learning? The answer at our small liberal arts college is, everything. Through the Integrated Learning initiative, our college has created a unique structure and strategies to support student learning in all aspects of their college lives. Does the library have a role to play in all this? Our library has responded with a resounding, yes, creating and implementing a new position, Integrated Learning Librarian.
Through the perspectives four of key figures, representatives from Academic Affairs and Student Development, the Library Director, and the Integrated Learning Librarian, this session will tell the exciting story of these new partnerships, recounting the successes, challenges, and unexpected benefits.
