Schein, H., Laff, N.S., & Allen, D. R. (2004). Giving advice to students: A road map for college professionals (R. Robbins, Ed.) [Monograph No. 11]. Manhattan, KS: National Academic Advising Association. 

All members of the academic community are potential advice givers who want to help students map their own routes.  However, many on campus frequently fail to incorporate their implicit knowledge about the academy into the thoughts they share with students.  Giving Advice to Students is designed to help campus professionals, especially faculty and student affairs professionals, blend their expertise to help students understand the underlying assumptions that direct their education and to integrate their college experiences.  The monograph is useful as a training handbook and dialog stimulus for professionals.  Included essays can be reproduced as tip sheets for students that can help make campus resources readily accessible.
