In this episode of The Adjunct Files, John and Maggie head straight to the heart of campus collaboration—the FGCU Library. Joined by four librarians, the conversation pulls back the curtain on what librarians actually do and why adjunct faculty should see them as teaching partners. They will bust myths about the library, highlight underused tools and services and emphasize one core takeaway: you don’t need to know the right question to ask. You just need to ask.
