Item From the Editor's Desktop(H.W. Wilson Company, 2004) Burek Pierce, Jenniferhis issue of Indiana Libraries marks a transition: Emily Okada, who has served as Editor since 2000, has stepped aside and facilitated my role as the new Editor of Indiana Libraries. I use the phrase “stepped aside” purposefully: Emily has not left Indiana Libraries entirely but instead now offers her experience and advice in the capacity of Associate Editor. The working relationship we have developed led to the thematic focus on partnerships for this general issue. One simple denotation of partnership is this: “A relationship of individuals or groups marked by mutual cooperation and responsibility.” The realities of working with partners are more complex, challenging, and nuanced than such a simple definition might suggest. The articles presented here represent different ways that Indiana librarians put this concept into practice. Librarians, administrators, faculty, and library school students describe the ways partnerships benefit both libraries and the communities they serve.
