Envisioning the Fully Integrated Library
The Chronicle of Higher Education, Vol.63(20), pA44

Abstract
Depending on the circumstances of each institution, the library may become a "lab outside the classroom," a one-stop learning facility, or a student version of faculty centers for teaching and learning. [...]libraries are becoming sophisticated research centers, supporting the manipulation, analysis, creation, and construction of knowledge. With a foot in both worlds, the joint appointee would retain the important role of identifying necessary information resources and services, monitoring trends in both disciplines, and facilitating dialogue about practical interdisciplinary issues. Among other goals, these documents, drawn up between the library and the academic departments, could specify interdepartmental responsibilities for collection development, the provision of library and information-related instruction across the curriculum, and the frequency of discussions on substantive issues of mutual concern. [...]a team-teaching approach could enhance mutual understanding of interdisciplinary practices and priorities, and provide a foundation for the library's future support of learning and research.
