Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to describe the conversations and collaborative problem-solving strategies initiated by a small group of faculty working collegially across five University of Wisconsin–Whitewater (UW) campuses to address the state shortage of school librarians.

Design/methodology/approach

This is a case study of the development of the consortium; its curriculum design and redesign and course development based on Conversation Theory, a set of common principles; and new directions in the library field.

Findings

This consortium developed a virtual department structure and a curriculum that has addressed the needs of the state and overcome bureaucratic hurdles.

Originality/value

The structure of the consortium; the use of the Conversation Theory to guide its development, curriculum and course design; and solutions to problems that arose could benefit other collaborative efforts.
