Building partnerships in liberal arts education: library team teaching

Abstract

The new academic library in the information age will be a teaching library. Teaching students the information literacy skills of how to identify, locate, access and evaluate information has become a fundamental responsibility for academic librarians. This article examines the framework for library bibliographic instruction, analyzes current information literacy initiatives, and reviews efforts of the Olin Library, Rollins College in promoting active learning and critical thinking skills through partnerships with classroom faculty and professionals of information technology and services.
