Library Support of Institutional Curricula

Guest Editor: Cris Ferguson (Director of Technical Services, Murray State University Libraries)

“This issue of Against the Grain is devoted to the many and varied ways in which academic libraries are supporting institutional curricula. As tuition, the prices of textbooks, and student out of pocket costs continue to rise, libraries are pressed to think both creatively and strategically about how they can best meet the demands of their users, faculty and students alike. Bringing together case studies from a variety of academic institutions, the articles in this issue highlight how libraries are working with their constituents to best support their curricular and class needs.” Read more by browsing the full issue below.
