When “Global Perspectives” launched in July 2015, the intent was to emphasize the increasing internationalization of higher education and the essential role of libraries in global engagement initiatives. Through reading about such activities, practitioners could learn from other librarians’ experiences as they explored roles and responsibilities that made sense for them and their context. The timing was right because many colleges and universities in the United States were strengthening their global reach and interaction and developing worldwide partnerships with implications for the local campus. The number of international undergraduate and graduate students in the United States was substantial, and educational institutions invested in and expanded support of those students to ensure their success. Many of these institutional strategic initiatives involved the library, which stood ready to serve as a robust campus partner. “Global Perspectives” is just one place to read about international possibilities. Several books published since 2015 deal with the global reach and services of college and university libraries. A selection of volumes is described here, chosen for their relevance to academic libraries and librarianship as well as their scope, currency, fresh perspective, broad interest, and wide applicability. As worthwhile as reading about worldwide initiatives is, connecting with people engaged in such activities is even more valuable. Building relationships and interacting with colleagues complement and supplement reading. Therefore, following the reviews of selected books, this article offers a description of relevant discussion and interest groups to explore, all sponsored by the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) .
