Abstract

We investigate pre-service teacher/librarian collaboration between two master’s level classes in different colleges (one in library and information studies and one in teacher education) who are studying young adult literature. Each were tasked with collaborating on an assignment working in small teams. This research seeks to contribute to the fields of teacher education and library and information studies in regards to methods of employing teacher/librarian collaboration to ensure the attainment of information skills among adolescents.
