Six essays, written collaboratively by current and former Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) postdoctoral fellows, explore the contributions that today's academic libraries--as providers of resources, professional support, and space--are making to learning and teaching. Topics include the continuing evolution of the learning commons, information literacy instruction, digital humanities teaching in libraries, spatial literacy, collaboration in digital special collections, and 3-D printing and pedagogy. Following the Foreword (Charles Henry) this book contains the following six essays: (1) Handing on the Splendid Torch: The Continuing Evolution of the Learning Commons (Martin Tsang, Tamsyn Mahoney-Steel, Jodi Reeves Eyre, and Christa Williford); (2) Creating Contact Zones in a "Post-Truth" Era: Perspectives on Librarian-Faculty Collaboration in Information Literacy Instruction (Bridget Whearty, Marta Brunner, Carrie Johnston, and Ece Turnator); (3) Exploring How and Why Digital Humanities Is Taught in Libraries (Hannah Rasmussen, Brian Croxall, and Jessica Otis); (4) Current Use and Prospective Future of the University Map Library: A Case Study of Multiple Perspectives From One Institution (John Maclachlan, Jason Brodeur, Brian Baetz, Patrick DeLuca, Julia Evanovitch, Rebecca Lee, and Supriya Singh); (5) New Opportunities for Collaboration in the Age of Digital Special Collections (Erin Connelly, Anne Donlon, Dimitrios Latsis, and Dawn Schmitz); and (6) Shiny Things: 3D Printing and Pedagogy in the Library (Jennifer Grayburn, Veronica Ikeshoji-Orlati, Anjum Najmi, and Jennifer Parrott). An Afterword (Lauren Coats and Elliott Shore) follows.
