Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this column is to review several recent library partnerships and highlight the benefit of such endeavors for the libraries and their partner institutions. Design/methodology/approach – This is a literature review and commentary on this topic that has been addressed by professionals, researchers and practitioners. Findings – Visibility and access to the library in some unexpected locations, thanks to a number of creative partnerships, can serve as greater a function to the library as to its partner and the community. The vitality of the library can be at least partially sustained by its partnerships and can serve as a model for other public/private and public/public associations where both sides of the partnership benefit in the estimation of the public. Originality/value – The value in addressing this issue is to examine the creative public/private and public/public partnerships of which libraries can avail themselves in an effort to best serve their patrons.
