Faculty - Librarian Collaboration
Faculty - Librarian collaboration is an integrated approach to students' development and enhancement of information literacy skills. Together, we can help students become better problem solvers, critical thinkers, and self-directed lifelong learners via classroom instruction supported by library and information resources.
