Collaboration in a Loosely Coupled System: Librarian-Faculty Relations in Collection Development.

Chu, Felix T.

Library & Information Science Research, v17 n2 p135-50 Spr 1995

A case study based on theories of loose coupling and loosely coupled systems focuses on the relationship between librarians and faculty who share collection development responsibilities. Data indicates that areas of collaboration at a public comprehensive university library center more on procedures of collection development than on substantive issues. (Author/JKP)
