This paper introduces the how and why of using TeachingBooks to create these lists. It also describes the collaborative experiences that the use of TeachingBooks enabled. Further, it shares practical examples and experiences that can be of benefit to other academic libraries interested in increasing access to their children’s collections via promotional and instructional activities.
