A recent article in the Journal of Library Administration highlighted the convenient partnership the library has established with the Global College — an interesting and growing trend. The article “Going Global: Providing Library Resources and Services to International Sites” by Zhonghong Wang and Paul Tremblay was in the January 1 2009 online edition.
Abstract: The Brooklyn campus library of Long Island University (LIU) seized the opportunity to take a proactive approach to providing library resources and services to the university’s Global College community. An active link connecting the library, Global College headquarters, and international sites has been created. After carefully evaluating the needs of faculty and students across the globe, the authors recount how the library supports the teaching and learning activities of this unique user group. This article describes the LIU Brooklyn campus library’s efforts to promote and implement customized resources and services to users on different continents.
