Traditionally, academic librarians have delivered "beck and call" service to educators both in and out of the classroom.

Offering strategies applicable to many different areas, this book shows how the academic librarian can be an educator in both structured and unstructured spaces on campuses. Reale discusses the changing perception of academic librarians; shows how academic librarians can and should assert their rightful place in the learning cycle; and looks at how to match teaching goals with academic librarians' mission.
