The PartnershipThe University Libraries at George Mason University have developed a research and instruction partnership with the Library of Congress in order to increase research and learning opportunities for the faculty and students at Mason. The intent of this collaborative effort, which is still being developed, is to facilitate access to on-site collections at the Library of Congress through developing programmatic and curricular ties with one of the world’s foremost research libraries. This partnership encourages a systematic approach to user education that begins with the effective use of local collections at GMU and culminates with advanced strategies to access the many resources that are available at the Library of Congress. How Does the Partnership Work?Faculty may collaborate with a George Mason University Libraries librarian to see if there are appropriate collections at the Library of Congress that can be made available to students for their research projects. The best way to begin this process is for faculty to contact their liaison librarians to investigate how this partnership might benefit their courses. In addition the the University Libraries has appointed a coordinator of the LC Partnership (George Oberle), who can assist faculty and librarians if they need help. What are the Benefits?This curricular enhancement initiative creates opportunities for George Mason faculty and liaison librarians to collaborate and provide a rich array of information resources, from a wide range of world cultures, in many languages, and in diverse and specialized formats, to promote student learning.
