This department was established solely to serve the non-traditional adult student and lifelong learner. The historical background of adult education, the establishment of the School for New Learning, the shared goal of the Library and the department, the history and development of the partnership, the role of the library liaison, and how the partnership has changed the curriculum and library programs are discussed. Future ideas for the direction of this partnership are examined.
