Abstract

This paper investigates collaboration building between teaching faculty and librarians in university settings, and specifically the question: “What are the librarians’ main approaches to teaching faculty to build collaborations with teaching faculty?” In order to answer this question, a qualitative case study of field librarians at the University of Michigan was conducted. An analysis of thematic coding revealed “interacting with the community members”, “as a member of the community”, “customised to individual needs” and “staying in touch” as categories of librarians’ strategic approaches to teaching faculty. The results indicated field librarians’ approaches were focused on relationship marketing. While these approaches were similar approaches in the Earlham model, these developing processes were different.
