| contents | "Stemming the Tide" of Mediocrity: The Academic Library Response [to]"A Nation at Risk." Dougherty, Richard M. Academic Libraries College Faculty College School Cooperation Educationally Disadvantaged Higher Education Information Needs Library Cooperation Library Extension Library Role Library Services Ways in which academic libraries can contribute to strengthening the educational system are examined, and obstacles to be overcome or circumvented are considered. Primary focus is on the generic academic library. An overview is presented on what is known about libraries and learning, and the use of library resources. Several seminal studies are cited on the use of libraries by the college population and on attempts to develop educational programs based upon close cooperation between librarians and college faculty. The successes and failures of library services for educationally disadvantaged students are discussed, and some recommendations are made for improving special library services to students in need of remedial aid. Suggestions are made on how campus libraries can take the initiative in sponsoring programs designed to improve the understanding and use of information related tools or in co-sponsoring activities with colleges of education, extension agencies, or local public library facilities.
