As libraries face a changing service model and new challenges, collaboration has emerged to provide services and support to students with a shared responsibility between libraries, faculty, and student affairs. This study will explore cases of collaboration between campus groups to understand the systems and organization within their models. An examination of each case study will compare the organizational structure and benefits of these collaborations to activity theory, considering how the work of these collaborations benefits not just the student but the institution and the participants themselves.
