- Beyond Library Walls: Embedding Librarians in Academic Departments Matava, Tobie Coffey, Dan Kushkowski, Jeffrey Information Needs Academic Libraries Library Services Librarians Case Studies Electronic Libraries Librarian Teacher Cooperation Library Development Outreach Programs Reference Services Access to Information Program Descriptions Today's academic library provides resources that users can access both physically in the library and virtually from academic offices. This increasing availability of online access means that information resources are no longer confined within library walls and librarians need to rethink how their constituents' information needs are being met.
