Abstract
Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose. The more things change, the more they stay the same. It’s a sentiment relevant in times of change in relations between university writing programs and libraries. With anything new comes a sense of déjà vu. Haven’t we been here before? We bear this sentiment in mind as we implement new models of collaboration between the first-year writing program and the library at Rutgers University–Camden. Much as we might wish to begin anew, we feel the tug of inertia. Still, we say, things will be different this time.
