Abstract
As a discipline, library and information science (LIS) has a great deal to offer the academic and professional communities of which it is part. This paper discusses some of the strategies used in the library education program at the Queensland University of Technology that have resulted in recognition as a key player in holistic learning within higher education, as well as building strong partnerships within the LIS profession, within the Faculty of Information Technology, within the university itself and higher education generally. Involvement in key teaching and learning projects has meant that LIS educators are acknowledged as playing a pivotal role in the future development of Faculty teaching and learning initiatives and in the future direction of LIS education in Australia. A model is presented that can guide other LIS educators as they strive to develop collaborative partnerships which will see their discipline at the forefront of university activities.
