The editor of the forthcoming Chandos Publishing book Experiential
learning in academic and research libraries: Its importance and applications,
to be published mid-2016, seeks chapter proposals from librarians who have used
experiential learning to transform their collections and services, while
creating collaborative synergies to support institutional mission and student
success. The book will be a “one-stop-shop” for libraries looking to
ground their experiential learning programs and services on a sure footing, and
will suggest unique and exciting ways to add experiential learning to the
library’s offerings. Chapters are sought which highlight programs,
services, or resources that are grounded in experiential learning and which
benefit academic library users and/or contribute to student success.
