Library Partnerships in International Liberal Arts Education
Internationalization continues to gain traction among US colleges and universities as overseas branch campuses now dot the globe alongside an established and growing group of independent American-modeled institutions of higher education, some founded as early as the 19th century. As higher education and the academic library environment evolves, librarians at many of these independent institutions are identifying priorities that include not only collaborating with educational stakeholders, enhancing teaching and learning, and connecting to the institution’s mission, but also positioning themselves as active and creative partners in increasingly digital learning and scholarship. An international environment is both a challenge and an opportunity for these priorities. Library Partnerships in International Liberal Arts Education explores these challenges and opportunities through perspectives that are inherently international and intercultural because of the authors’ own backgrounds, and in particular because of their institutional environments.

Global Perspectives on Information Literacy
ACRL’s Student Learning and Information Literacy Committee has gathered information literacy experts from around the world—including Africa, Canada, Europe, Oceania, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East—to explore information literacy from each author’s regional and/or cultural perspective and share individual perspectives that demonstrate how information literacy is viewed, taught, and conceptualized internationally. In thirteen chapters, this white paper examines research trends, models of information literacy, theory and practice, the role of librarians, and future visioning.
