Interprofessional Education and Medical Libraries: Partnering for Success is an excellent primer for faculty, administrators, and librarians considering implementing IPE or expanding their IPE offerings. I believe it also provides a valued refresher for experienced IPE practitioners. The chapter on organizational change is particularly useful because implementing IPE can prove to be quite challenging for institutions.The case studies offer practical examples that could serve as models for other institutions -- David A. Nolfi, Health Sciences Librarian and Library Assessment Coordinator, Gumberg Library, Duquesne University Interprofessional Education and Medical Libraries, edited by Mary Edwards, MLS, EdD, provides insight on many of the dimensions that comprise interprofessional education. Chapters offer historical perspectives, underlying theory, pedagogies, practical application, assessment and rich descriptions of hands-on experiences. Each of these dimensions includes contexts such as inclusion of medical libraries, patient safety, service learning in the community and the humanities. This volume is critical to those interested in rounding out their understanding of IPE, and in particular those who want to plan one or more IPE activities in their learning environment. -- Casey B. White, Harrison Distinguished Teaching Associate Professor & Associate Dean for Medical Education Research and Instruction, University of Virginia
