As institutions of higher education continue to question and transform their missions, values, and roles in teaching, learning, and research, academic libraries must also explore new ways to meet the changing needs of their communities. Building relationships and bridging divides between different offices are significant ways to contribute to the transformation taking place on our campuses. The authors of Librarians and Instructional Designers: Collaboration and Innovation argue convincingly that collaboration (in particular, collaboration with instructional designers or those in technology and design positions) will result in both enhanced teaching and learning and an increased visibility for librarians as leaders on campus.
