The Collaborative Imperative: Librarians and Faculty Working Together in the Information Universe Dick Raspa and Dane Ward, editors This is a book about librarian and faculty collaboration— as it exists now and as it could exist. The authors define collaboration as two or more people bringing their separate competencies to bear on a problem to work for a solution richer in options than might have been possible working alone. They believe collaboration will be the next great transition in higher education. Included in this book are a series of essays, a review of literature, case studies of exemplary programs at the institutional level, reports of surveys of informal collaborations, a directory of resources, as well as theoretical models of the collaborative enterprise. The focus is on developments within and beyond the instructional arena. This book will challenge readers to risk engaging in the collaborative process at their institution.
