Abstract

While the potential and benefits of research-practice partnership are well documented, there is limited discussion around approaches and challenges of establishing and sustaining public library-university partnerships in LIS research to bridge the gap between research and practice. This panel brings together five groups of panelists to highlight a diversity of public library-university partnerships within LIS and their approaches, models, practices, and implications toward consequential pedagogies and programming at public libraries. Through a collaborative panel discussion, this 90-minute panel will convene scholars and members of the ASIS&T community to improve concrete approaches and practices involved in public library-university partnerships to develop pedagogies and programming that are informed by the voices, needs, and interests across various communities.
