Collaboration is not only a lifeline for small and mid-size academic libraries, it is also their lifeblood.
—From the Foreword by Peter Felten and Joan D. Ruelle

Small to mid-size academic libraries often operate with reduced staffing, smaller budgets, and competing priorities. These limitations reduce the resources that can be allocated to programming and outreach efforts.

The Small to Midsize Academic Library: Collaborations and Outreach captures how academic library workers at these institutions are providing engagement and outreach opportunities for students by partnering with other entities across their campuses. In three parts, chapters provide easy-to-implement ideas and strategies for course, campus, and community outreach.

Part 1: Collaborations
- Cross-Campus Initiatives
- External Collaborations
Part 2: Academic Success Initiatives
- Writing and Composition
- Orientation and Programming
Part 3: Evolving Roles of Libraries in Student Success
- Student Wellness
- Emerging Roles for Librarians

Increased student engagement with cocurricular library and cross-departmental activities can lead to higher student retention and persistence rates. Academic libraries have an important role to play in providing these opportunities, and Collaborations and Outreach provides effective practices for supporting student success.
