    About this ebook

    This book examines all aspects of joint-use libraries, from the implications of government policy, to design and operational issues and evaluation. It considers all forms of joint-use library (e.g. school-public, college-public, university-public, health-university), reflecting on different models adopted around the world. Some of the main issues discussed include: partnership working, staffing and management, stock, digital resources, learning and literacy and community involvement.
    • Brings together case studies and good practice from around the world
    • Reflects the latest developments in this rapidly-developing field
    • Covers both operational and strategic issues such as partnership working and learning in joint use libraries

      McNicol, who edited the 2006 issue of Library Trends and chaired the International Conference on joint-use libraries in 2007, presents her own survey of the state of the art. She notes that while joint-use library was once a synonym for community-school library, meaning a facility intended to serve as both a school media center and a public library, this is no longer the case. Recent partnerships have included joint college and public libraries, joint community college and public libraries, joint college and secondary education libraries, joint medical and college libraries, and even partnerships between special and publicly funded libraries. She notes that these institutions are usually begun at the insistence of governing bodies and not the libraries.
