Reaching Shared Goals in Higher Education: A Collaboration of the Library and Disability Support Services

Abstract

How do departments in higher education partner and collaborate to support student academic success? Is collaboration a result of only intentional work or can unintentional conversations, interactions, and dialogue produce significant impact? Collaborative work between the Library and Disability Support Services emerged when common goals and shared vision became evident. The collaboration produced impactful and successful outcomes for students, and created a new ethos of collaborative culture in the academic community.
