Recenzii
A great primer on a subject that every academic librarian should be familiar with. Will have broad appeal in the professional community, especially for new librarians.
Providing insight and clarity about the library's role in a process of continual improvement ... Readers involved in most facets of higher education-be that administration, instruction, or support-will find this book a useful guide.
Focusing on student success in higher education, seasoned academic library practitioners and thought leaders Vecchione and McGraw make a compelling case that switching "at risk" to "at promise" is more than just a semantic shift. They make an equally compelling and carefully documented case that academic library-initiated-or-led advocacy, partnerships, and effective collaborations have the potential to advance student success. A word change alone isn't going to help students; as the authors argue, this must be followed by intentional action. This book is a welcome contribution to changing the culture of how academic libraries and librarians think about and respond to students and their strengths.
Vecchione and McGraw deliver a book that is part toolkit, part roadmap, and filled with practical insights for reaching students where they are. It's a powerful mix of design thinking and experiential learning that can transform the library into interdisciplinary success hub and provide authentic opportunity. Buy this book. Read it. Set the stage for more student success!
From an insightful analysis of barriers to student success to beginning discussions on student success at your own library, this important book brings an essential perspective to a high-profile topic in higher education. The authors' unique attention to power dynamics and existing inequities, tried and true methods for advocacy and collaboration, and realities of academic institutions makes their ideas as timely as they are useful. This book is highly recommended for any academic library workers who are invested in the success of their students.
