Academic libraries are navigating a challenging landscape. The global higher education environment is characterized by volatility, and academic libraries and librarians hold the potential to significantly contribute to their parent institutions' strategic positioning within this dynamic realm. To achieve this, it is essential to establish clarity regarding the academic library's role and function within the university and how library leadership can exert pan-institutional influence and impact. The academic library can position itself in various ways, and this collection showcases many of these strategies. Strategic alignment with the university and its mission is paramount, as is the ability to be flexible, adaptable, and responsive to evolving needs, requirements, and expectations. Examples of such responsiveness include advancements in research support and scholarly communications, as well as synergies with other academic support departments.
Furthermore, emerging themes such as library functions, institutional partnerships, and collaborations are explored in the book, offering readers a diverse range of reflections and case studies on how academic libraries worldwide have addressed their position within their institutions. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal "New Review of Academic Librarianship."
