AND OUTCOMES
Focusing on faculty and staff development is hugely important. According to
the American Council on Education, “As faculty continue to remain critical
components of an institution’s effectiveness and productivity, Presidents and
their senior administrators need to foster an environment conducive to faculty

retention and continued advancement.”
I love the different
ways that learning is
put before the learner.
We’re dealing with
different skill sets in
the new generation—
and they’re not as
classroom based. We
need to have blend of
the two to reach all the
employees effectively

Helping you carry out
your mission
A recent New York Times article
asserts “The heart of any college or
university is its human capital.”2 As
budgets shrink and pressures to do
more with less grow, universities and
libraries need a cost-effective way to
provide learning resources to their
constituents. To keep up the pace
of change, you need on demand
learning assets—particularly online
books and videos. By infusing expert
content in your institution, you keep
your faculty engaged and have a
cost-effective way to complement
the academic resources available
to students.
