Library Planning Research,  work in progress

Libraries: Key Partners in Virtual Learning

Academic librarians can play a key role  in the adjustment to online learning: they can assist faculty with transferring courses to online (or hybrid) format, and provide collaboration opportunities for students. Librarians should create a library resource strategy to help maintain consistent, engaging learning in lieu of in-person classes.

As we adjust to an online focus,  collection development should include a digital asset management plan. For example, your collection should include resources that are free and available without copyright requirements. During a recent project, we found that a University’s special collections were often in digital formats.
