Do your library and computing center clash or collaborate? Successful collaborations will improve service to faculty, students, and researchers and give patrons and librarians alike access to full range of technology. As library instruction blends with software training, you will gain new partners.
Books, Bytes and Bridges: Libraries and Computer Centers in Academic institutions explores the strategies and working models for developing and maintaining successful partnerships between the two groups that are critical to providing information access in academic institutions. Larry Hardesty has assembled a team of scholars to address such topics as:
The historical evaluation, cultures and working relationships of computing centers and libraries.
Models of collaboration and cooperation and organizational structures.
Careful examination of viewpoints and perspectives from small, medium and university libraries with techniques and strategies for improving relations.
Case studies with a conceptual analysis.
Management models that utilize cross-functional terms and minimize hierarchy.
