Purpose Each of Ventura County’s four public institutions of higher education list information literacy (IL) as either an institutional outcome or general education outcome for their students. Despite this, communication between the four campuses on this topic was limited. Librarians from these institutions applied to be part of the grant-funded Project ALAS Faculty Fellows Program to find ways to collaborate with each other and with teaching faculty to support the development of IL skills in transfer students. Design/methodology/approach Librarians from Ventura County’s four public institutions of higher education, with funding from the Project ALAS Faculty Fellows Program, held a one-day IL summit to bring librarians and teaching faculty together to unify objectives and create a seamless IL transition for transfer students. Findings Creating an opportunity for librarians and teaching faculty to discuss the definition and potential applications of IL in courses and assignments led to positive outcomes. Teaching faculty learned about library resources and took steps to begin collaborating with their campus librarian(s). Librarians also learned about different academic expectations in various disciplines, made new connections and made plans for future IL-focused collaborations. Originality/value Studies have demonstrated that IL is a key component to student transfer success. However, this is not an element in education that can be achieved by one department alone. The collaborative effort described in this paper can serve as a model for other librarians hoping to foster dialogue and cooperation amongst their regional institutions.

跨机构合作，促进转学生成功

目的文图拉县的四个公共高等教育机构中的每一个都将信息素养（IL）列为其学生的机构成果或通识教育成果。尽管如此，四个校园之间在该主题上的交流还是有限的。这些机构的图书馆员申请加入了由项目资助的ALAS教职研究员计划，以寻找相互合作的方式，并与教职员工一起为转学学生的IL技能发展提供支持。设计/方法论/方法来自文图拉县四个公共高等教育机构的图书馆员，在项目ALAS教职研究员计划的资助下，举行了为期一天的IL峰会，将图书馆员和教职员工召集在一起，以统一目标并为转移学生。调查结果为图书馆员和教职员工创造了一个机会，以讨论IL在课程和作业中的定义及其潜在应用，从而产生了积极的成果。教职员工了解了图书馆资源，并采取了步骤，开始与他们的校园馆员合作。馆员还了解了各个学科的不同学术期望，建立了新的联系，并制定了未来以IL为重点的合作计划。独创性/价值研究表明，IL是学生转学成功的关键因素。但是，这不是一个部门可以单独完成的教育要素。本文中描述的协作努力可以作为希望在其区域机构之间促进对话与合作的其他图书馆员的榜样。
