Librarians in the huddle: Supporting athlete success on and off the field

Erdmann, J., Clark, P. H., (2016). Libraries in the huddle: Supporting athlete success on and off the field. College and Research Libraries News, 77(3), 144-146, 157. Retreived from: http://crln.acrl.org/index.php/crlnews/article/view/9464/10715

Erdmann and Clark describe their experience of creating a co-learning opportunity with the College Field Hockey team. The librarians offered a quite study space and academic research help in a seldom used, 2nd floor area, of the library. The Field Hockey team continued to use the space outside of class hours and became comfortable in the library.

This article was an unexpected find. I work in an academic library and was not aware that some libraries partner with athletic departments to discuss information literacy as well create good study habits. I would love to find out if this is replicated in other libraries and what the students and libraries find most rewarding. With only 27 students, this is simply an anecdotal account.
