Partners in Pathways to Success: Subject Librarian Support to the University Learning, Teaching and Research at Victoria University of Wellington

Abstract

Research and ‘learning and teaching’ form two of the eight key goals of Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. To align the Library services with the University’s core values and future directions, a Library Services Review was undertaken in 2010 to re-purpose the library’s services and resource delivery. The review led to the Library Services Change Proposal in 2011. The changes set out in the proposal are now being implemented. This paper looks at the changing landscape in the Library at Victoria University of Wellington. It also discusses the support provided by the subject librarians for research, learning and teaching in the changed structure, working in partnerships with faculty, students and other units in the University.
