“…The IR was used to serve this purpose and became a central location for already produced 65 Content curation content that was scattered across campus and various webpages. The library hosts the content with the IR software but it was the human resources, staff senate, university information services and a group of interested faculty that contributed content to the site (Gilman and Kunkel, 2010). Although the content is increasing by way of non-library staff and is a perfect example of collaboration, it is content solely for the education, development and training of current faculty at that university.…”

“…Most literature defines IR partnerships, as this author describes it, as a partnership between one or more of the big three: information technology division (ITD), college or office of graduate studies and the library. The studies describing campus partnerships often involve forming committees to investigate solutions to a campus initiative and in addition to the big three partners can include the office of sponsored programs, student services offices, university archives, the Provost’s Council and other advisory groups (Walters, 2007; Gilman and Kunkel, 2010; Li et al , 2013). But these types of collaborations are typically for the launch of an IR and not the content recruitment or curation of the collection.…”

Purpose The purpose of this case study is to illustrate how a university library collaborated with a specific college to preserve scholarship with a sustainable approach. The practical process described is recommended for increasing content submissions in a newly established institutional repository. Of the eight colleges at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), the Honors College was selected as a case study for a library–college collaboration on content curation for the institutional repository that is maintained by MTSU’s Walker Library. Design/methodology/approach Concept of shared and divided responsibilities for the upload, maintenance and sustainability of institutional repository submissions based on a particular case study and aided with literature on data management, digital publishing, library publishing and preservation research. Findings The partner approach, the sharing and division of responsibilities, is instrumental to the growth and sustainability of a library publishing program and for the preservation of university scholarship. Practical implications The (college) partner approach not only educates campus units about a new resource (e.g. institutional repository), but also encourages campus units to rethink other current and outdated practices that need to adapt to technological changes that support the unit and its students. This approach will help the library with campus outreach after an institutional repository is implemented and offers guidance on a collaborative approach to repository submission growth. Originality/value This paper suggests a (college) partner approach that mutually benefits the College and its students, departments and the library that maintains the institutional repository on behalf of the university. During the implementation process of this case study, an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)/accessibility compliance issue of repository items surfaced and allowed for a new course of action to be taken campus wide which adds to the originality of this case study.

“…It is beyond the scope of this chapter to discuss at length the processes and standards needed to establish and sustain a successful Repository; Carlson, Ramsey, and Kotterman () offer a thorough description of Purdue University's processes in developing such a resource to meet local‐scale needs. Gilman and Kunkel () discuss the important role libraries can play as they use the Repository's infrastructure to initiate, promote, and sustain the building of interdisciplinary partnerships that will foster scholarship and communication.…”

Librarians are continually teaching students and faculty how to identify and access learning resources. They teach during individual reference consultations, through presentations to classes Librarians, Libraries, and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Peter OttoLibraries and librarians serve multiple groups of users who have varying goals and needs. Students may need individual guidance as they work to identify relevant information resources; discipline-specific faculty may arrange with a librarian to teach a library instruction session early in the semester so the students can become more self-reliant information consumers who can construct new understandings of course-related issues or problems. Librarians may develop online tutorials to show students how to navigate the intricacies of the library website.

“…By developing a critical approach to IL pedagogy that starts with the assumption of limited access to students and curriculum, librarians can find ways to establish their presence in the classroom and create partnerships with both students and instructors. This change in approach to teaching can extend outward to include other fundamental campus partnerships (Gilman & Kunkel, 2010).…”

The teaching efforts at Marriott Library are distributed widely across a variety of groups and a range of subject matter. Teaching styles and pedagogical foci are varied and diverse among the librarians in the building. To increase collaboration and raise teaching standards, Graduate and Undergraduate Services (GUS) formulated Guidelines for teaching librarians by using the University of Utah’s Quality Course Framework (QCF) and Marriott Library’s own Four Core Student Library Learning Outcomes and mapping them to the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. To facilitate communication and usability, the Guidelines contain an alignment matrix for librarians to follow through the teaching process. The matrix is also intended to open up new opportunities for conversation and collaboration between librarians and academic staff to better serve student needs. The purpose of this report is to document and reflect upon the collaborative work done by teaching librarians at the University of Utah to create the Teaching Guidelines. The process of this work involved the synthesis and alignment of several models of pedagogical structure as well as the overarching interests and goals of a variety of stakeholders and participants in the teaching environment at the University. The product of these efforts includes clear Teaching Guidelines, alignment with the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy, and an alignment matrix designed to provide a clear map of the teaching philosophies and strategies employed at the library. This report presents the process of creating and implementing the Guidelines and outlines the background of the process, including those institutional, situational, and environmental circumstances which shaped the general course of its development. The report includes an analysis of the pedagogical characteristics of the Guidelines. The report also presents an example of the Guidelines as used in action when developing the library-related content for an undergraduate-level community learning course known as ‘Learning, Engagement, Achievement and Progress’ (LEAP).
