Abstract
The changing landscape of higher education and increasing demand for multi-skilled employees in today’s workforce have exposed opportunities for cross-disciplinary and cross-curricular engagements in university classrooms. At the same time, budgetary constraints and shifting institutional structures present challenges to adopting and integrating such holistic approaches to research, teaching, and learning. This presentation discusses the connective function of academic libraries on university campuses, including librarians’ roles as curricular and pedagogical partners to teaching faculty and facilitators of interdepartmental research. Liz Grauel and Erik Ziedses des Plantes, librarians at the University of Dayton who serve as liaisons to the schools of business and engineering, will share their experiences in cross-curricular engagements between business and engineering programs. We discuss our developing approaches to cross-curricular library instruction and engagements with teaching faculty of different disciplines, and invite attendees to share their experiences within their own institutions. This session explores the cross-curricular student engagements that may be expanded and supported through the consultative and collaborative position of academic libraries on college campuses, building on the growing interest in such activities.
