RIPL (Reference & Instruction Discussion Group)

Topic: Our theme is libraries and collaboration, and in preparation for the meeting we’d like people to consider the following article and discussion questions:

Felix, Elliot. (2019). “Five Tips for Effective Student Service Collaboration.” https://www.brightspotstrategy.com/integrated-student-services-departmental-collaboration/

• What are the most important potential collaborations for a library and why? (or why isn’t collaboration important, if you don’t think it is?)
• What is the most interesting library collaboration you’ve heard of -OR- the most interesting you’ve tried in a library that you worked for?
• If you could get automatic buy-in from other offices in your organization, which collaborations would you prioritize and why?
• Do you have stories of particularly successful or unsuccessful collaborations? (and what made them so good/bad?)
• Do you have any suggestions for getting around the most typical barriers to collaboration?
