This feeling emanates in part from the feeling that we're the last public institution standing, and therefore have to pick up whatever is falling through the cracks of a failing social net. This book focuses on the proactive strategies that can change this reality. If public libraries are feeling alone, public libraries need to find partners, allies, and collaborators.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book walks librarians through the various types of partnerships and includes information on models for developing, sustaining, and discontinuing partnerships; tools and tips for partnering with purpose; pointers on finances and record keeping; and more. This book prepares the reader to develop transformative solutions to systemic problems no institution or sector could address on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNoah Lenstra\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD, is a Professor of Library \u0026amp; Information Science in the University of North Carolina at Greensboro School of Education, USA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJenny Bossaller\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD, is a Professor in the School of Information Science \u0026amp; Learning Technologies at the University of Missouri–Columbia, USA.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLynn Silipigni Connaway\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD, is a researcher, educator, librarian, and former Executive Director, Research, OCLC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e04 February 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Libraries Unlimited\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9798216382645\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e208\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51515357692044,"sku":"9798216382645","price":44.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_66c912a2-3965-44f1-bfe5-e2a86e81386c.jpg?v=1784692768","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9798216382645","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
