Abstract

Addition of these collections to the university’s integrated library system, evaluated and cataloged by the main library, represent significant and valuable collaboration between the university library and collection stakeholders.Design/methodology/approachThis case study discusses the development and best practices for a mutually beneficial relationship between the main library and on-campus satellite library partners at a medium-sized, private university.FindingsWith systematic planning, effective partnerships between the main library and satellite library stakeholders can offer a university even more than discovery of research material.Originality/valueThis paper includes examples of and practical advice for incorporating satellite libraries as additional materials promoted by the academic library system in an era of widespread resource sharing and collaboration.
