Review:
"As two sides of the same coin, librarians and instructional designers need to work together to achieve the best outcomes for their libraries. This book is directed at academic libraries, but can be applied to any setting." --Voice of Youth Advocates
"Providing a purposeful introduction and index, the authors also give evidence in nine solid chapters on how to cultivate relations with curriculum development in mind. Chapters have a clean design with satisfactory balance between white space and text using subtopic divisions, visual figures, and highlighted information boxes ... An excellent resource for administrators, librarians and instructional designers at the collegiate and postcollegiate level. Highly recommended." --American Reference Books Annual
"Wide-ranging and thoroughly researched." --Library Journal
