Given the 'new normal' of tighter constraint on personnel and materials budgets, librarians now are compelled to find new ways of offering services and forging new relationships with departments and programs outside the traditional library setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume highlights a number of projects being implemented in academic libraries including: rethinking the entire concept of a library, redefining physical space for new collaborative uses, adapting entrepreneurial techniques to acquire funding, creating new research tools and improving services, forging new consortial partnerships, allying more closely the mission of the library with that of the institution, and adapting public library programs to academic libraries. By re-examining the purpose of an academic library under continuing financial duress, librarians can ensure that their libraries will continue to have relevance to higher education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was published as a special issue of \u003cem\u003eCollege \u0026amp; Undergraduate Libraries\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin Gunn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 113810924X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138109247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Kevin Gunn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096829567231,"sku":"9781138109247","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leveraging-library-resources-in-a-kevin-gunn-9781138109247","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
