The Journey To Build A 21 St Century Faculty Librarian Relationship: A Retrospective Case Study Reflected With Criteria 2 E And J

If we expect students to function effectively on teams and to have a respect for diversity and a knowledge of contemporary professional, societal and global issues (TAC of ABET Program Outcomes criteria 2 e and 2 j), how and where do we demonstrate those outcomes within our professional activities as role models? This paper will reflect on how faculty and librarians fostered a successful cross disciplinary relationship and worked as an effective team built on diverse personal strengths. The authors examine their journey to nurture an information fluent learning environment which they viewed as one of critical 21 st century teaching and learning issues, and share their lessons learned that are applicable to their team skill teaching practices.
