✦ Synopsis

The university subject librarians' role is at the centre of new models of teaching and learning, yet further debate and published contributions are still needed to shape its future direction. ''Subject Librarians: Engaging with the Learning and Teaching Environment'' assesses trends and challenges in current practice, and aims to encourage renewed thinking and improved approaches. Its editors and authors include experienced practitioners and academics. At a time of great change and increasing challenges in higher education, this book offers directors of academic services, library managers, librarians and lecturers a chance to reflect on the key issues and consider the needs of the learning community. ''Subject Librarians: Engaging with the Learning and Teaching Environment'' also provides a perspective on current practice and a reference source for students of Information Management and Information Studies.
