"Re-envisioning the role of academic librarians for the digital learning" by Adriana Ciccone and Liz Hounslow

"Re-envisioning the role of academic librarians for the digital learning" by Adriana Ciccone and Liz Hounslow | ED 262 Research, Reference & Resource Skills | Scoop.it

Academic librarians cannot escape the implications of the knowledge economy and the pervasion of technology which effects everything that we do. Similarly, we must be prepared to teach our students how to cope in this knowledge society and how to develop the necessary information and digital literacy skills to be productive members of society in a digital environment. This article explores the first eighteen months of our experience as digital curriculum librarians in a large project at the University of South Australia (UniSA), UniSA Online. We have taken this opportunity to critically reflect on being embedded librarians within such a strategic and unique project. We examine the key cultural, pedagogical and technological challenges we have faced in delivering resources, support and services to the project team.

OER: A Field Guide for Academic Librarians - Open Textbook Library

OER: A Field Guide for Academic Librarians - Open Textbook Library | ED 262 Research, Reference & Resource Skills | Scoop.it

We intend this book to act as a guide writ large for would-be champions of OER, that anyone—called to action by the example set by our chapter authors—might serve as guides themselves. The following chapters tap into the deep experience of practitioners who represent a meaningful cross section of higher education institutions in North America. It is our hope that the examples and discussions presented by our authors will facilitate connections among practitioners, foster the development of best practices for OER adoption and creation, and more importantly, lay a foundation for novel, educational excellence.
