Este artigo explora em profundidade os fatores que levam ao sucesso dos mecanismos de co-ensino, entre bibliotecários e outros profissionais da informação. Baseando-se em pesquisas colaboração da Fundação Wilder, este estudo constatou que as relações de sucesso no co-ensino são caracterizadas por fatores relacionados com o meio ambiente, parcerias, processos e estrutura, a comunicação, a finalidade, recursos e considerações externas / longo prazo. Dentro destas sete áreas, são dadas diretrizes para relacionamentos de sucesso no co-ensino para uso por bibliotecários e outros profissionais da informação. "
