In a rapidly changing environment where increasingly the
boundaries are blurring between librarians' roles and those of learning
technologists, information technologists, educational developers, skill support
specialists and, indeed, academic staff, the academic librarian needs not only
to embrace new opportunities but also to influence proactively the development
of learning environments. This essential book captures and critically discusses
the librarian's changing learning support role in an educational context, providing
guidance and practical support. Written by acknowledged experts across a broad
range of roles in the new academic environment, it challenges thinking in this
area as well as offering practice-based advice. This book is essential reading
for practitioners at every level within the higher education and further education
sectors, including information specialists, learning support professionals, academic
liaison co-ordinators and subject specialists, academic service managers, and
heads of library and information services. It will also be a valuable resource
for all other professionals involved in the delivery of learning support, and
for students of LIS and of education.
