Collaboration<\/h2>\r\nCollaboration is a common theme in information related to building relationships between librarians and their instructional counterparts. Building relationships between these three groups allows each party to gain a better understanding of digital resource construction and availability, design, goals, and responsibilities. Meanwhile, poor knowledge of each others roles in the university can inhibit the value for staff, faculty, and staff.\r\n\r\nOne great way to build connection is to work together to encourage, inform, train, and support faculty and students in course design, digital media, media databases, online media, public domain resources, and streaming media tools. Working together can promote creative opportunities in the design and use of the learning management system, while also addressing plagiarism, academic integrity, information literacy, and web-based technology challenges.\r\n\r\nIf LIDIT an create a collaborative environment, this will encourage and support student learning, faculty enrichment, instructional design, and the effective use of the university supported tools. LIDIT are becoming increasingly interdependent, so to achieve larger goals, collaboration and cooperation will likely be necessary.\r\n
The Partnership Puzzle<\/h2>\r\nThere are many ways to build effective interdepartmental partnerships; the following\u00a0 is not an exhaustive list. However, the list can provide insight as you begin to promote communication, collaboration, and partnership at your institution.

<\/div>\nAs with many things, communication can affect how well librarians, instructional designers, and instructional technologists collaborate. The following chapter outlines strategies for improving communication and collaboration between these groups, which have been identified in research and practice; these strategies may be beneficial as you build your connections. The chapter will begin with information about effective communication and will conclude with ways to build connection, including the value of collaborative projects and how to solve the partnership puzzle.<\/p>\n
Communication<\/h1>\n
Communication can be tricky in any organization. Effective communication can impact everything from program buy-in to retention to fundraising. Getting ahead of potential misunderstandings is a useful way to save time, money, and aggravation. For example:<\/p>\n
Snarky comments can be fun with the right people, but also can be offensive. Such as:<\/p>\n
- \n
- You look good for someone your age.<\/li>\n
- You would have increased faculty buy-in if you sounded like you knew what you were talking about.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Instead of these sort of comments, consider these alternatives:<\/p>\n
- \n
- I love your unique outfits!<\/li>\n
- Let’s practice some technique for increasing library usage this quarter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
