    Descripción/Resumen:
    Abstract: Can a library support an overseas program with a full-time librarian position? Can this position provide distant services successfully through e-learning techniques, social media and other methods? The answer is yes. As many American universities enroll students through a shared or global campus, librarians can play a vital role as the primary information and library services provider. The University of Cincinnati (UC) and Chongqing University, China (CQU) established the first shared engineering programs in China with mandatory co-operative education, the Joint Co-op Institute (JCI), in 2013. Students primarily receive on-campus instruction in China from JCI instructors; however, no UC librarian is onsite to provide dedicated support. In response, UC Libraries developed the new Global Services Librarian position as the lead presence for support of the Libraries’ growing global engagement and partnerships, especially with the JCI. This Librarian provides a full range of services, mostly at a distance, including instruction, outreach, and faculty support. This presentation will describe the development of the Global Services Librarian position, its roles in supporting the JCI, lessons learned in the first year of this position, and how this role could be adapted for other library environments.

    Descripción/Resumen:
    If your organization is interested in establishing and developing a joint international program in China, it is inevitable to face both manageable risks and unpredictable changes. There are mainly three types of challenges. ● Political impact on travel and visa application: the 2017 re-election in China and leadership change in the United States affect how efficient for both sides to visit each other and stay for work. ● Technology restriction on teaching and communication: While the fast internet speed and open internet are taken for granted in the US, technological difficulties in China can be a barrier for effective teaching and communication. ● Censorship: In China, censorship is always a challenge, especially in the current state. Be proactive to work effectively within the constraints. The presenter is intended to share some experience and best practice based on a successful joint institute between University of Cincinnati and Chongqing University. As the first coop based program in China, the program continues to be a leading model in international engineering education.
