Guest Leader Column
The Magic when School, Public, and Academic Librarians Work Together
By Becca Neel, Online Learning Librarian at University of Southern Indiana
How do you support a high school student who is enrolled in a dual credit course when they ask for help at your school or public library…and you don’t have access to the course materials or databases they are expected to use?
Earlier this week, University of Southern Indiana hosted a conference where school, public, and academic librarians joined forces to support high school students enrolled in dual credit courses. I am proud to have collaborated with Gayle Kiesel and Paula Harmon of Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation, and Andrea Wright here at USI in developing content that aligns the
ACRL
and
AASL Standards
(
