A Case Study of Faculty-Librarian Collaboration on Promoting the Use of Library Resources and Services in the Jinwen University of Science and Technology (Article written in Chinese)

Ti YU & Jiu-Hua HUANG

Abstract

This study reviewed some literatures in relation to the methods of how to establish relationships and the strategies of how to build collaborated partnerships between teaching faculty and librarians. Furthermore, the Jinwen University of Science and Technology library referred these methods and strategies to plan an experimental project for promoting the use of library resources and services. An open-ended questions survey was conducted in this study for collecting the perceptions and comments of teaching faculty on the project. Finally, four suggestions were proposed in this study: 1. Treat resources as the basis of analyzing and operating the strategies on faculty-librarian collaboration, 2. reduce the difference in recognition between teaching faculty and librarians, 3. emphasize the collaborated relationships between teaching faculty and librarians, and 4. strengthen the marketing and promotion on the models of faculty-librarian collaboration.

Keywords: faculty-librarian collaboration; library; Jinwen University of Science and Technology
