Creating Faculty/Librarian Connections:
Collaborating for Information Literacy
Collaborating for Student Success
A project of the Portland State University Office of Academic Affairs and the Branford P. Millar Library. Funded through the "Enhancing Faculty Vitality while Increasing Student Learning" campus-wide initiative.
"If students are expected to learn a great deal more on their own, utilizing new technologies, it will likely mean that librarians will be the major players in guiding students to needed resources, not as an auxiliary to faculty teaching but as a primary source of student learning. In brief, librarians as educators will be a much more central part of the undergraduate educational environment of the future then occurs today."

Restructuring Our Universities: Focusing on Student Learning
An Essay Prepared for the 1997 ACRL National Conference Choosing Our Futures"When we collaborate, we make visible that implicit bond between living entities. Particularly in human enterprises, collaboration is the special bond that calls forth something that would not easily be accessible in solitude. That something is the quality of listening that allows enterprise to show up, be entertained, be probed in a give-and-take fashion, and, finally, be borne into the public world of discourse and social action.
