Abstract

This chapter seeks to explore the myriad ways that libraries can leverage expertise to specifically enhance the services undergraduates receive at a large research university. Partnering with nontraditional campus units can expand on the traditional academic library liaison roles. The chapter highlights the development of three nontraditional campus collaborations with different entities on campus and how they were or are developing: Athletic Academic Affairs, the Experiential Learning Network, and Residence Education. The authors discuss the successes, challenges, and failures faced by the library and the new partners. The goal is to outline the ways other academic libraries can build collaborations of value with academic departments that are often overlooked.
