In this month’s issue, Patricia A. Kreitz ex­
p lo re s  ACRL P re sid e n t T yrone C annon’s 
them e of “Partnerships and Connections” by 
addressing the notion of librarians as knowl­
edge builders (p. 8). She describes the fac- 
ulty/librarian partnership that resulted in the 
Stanford Linear A ccelerator Center library 
collaborating w ith similar research centers 
worldwide to create a preprint archive for 
particle physics. The article offers a positive 
exam ple o f the value of cam pus partner­
ships to n o t only the local learning com m u­

In “Territorial invasion or symbiotic relation­
ship?” (p. 12) authors Naomi R. Sutherland and 
Valarie P. Adams focus on the opportunities for 
cooperation between technical services and ref­
erence staffs. They propose a number of meth­
ods for opening communication between the 
two areas to end the perceived “war” between 
cataloging and reference.

The Scholarly C om m unication colum n 
provides a unique exam ple of a library’s 
contribution to scholarly communication, the 
publication of the Journal o f  Insect Science 
(an online, o p en  access journal) by the Uni­
versity of Arizona library.
