The goal for reorganizing the workshop and instruction web page is to help our audiences (i.e. faculty versus students versus libarians) find relevant information. Discrete components to achieve this goal are:
- Categorize workshops by topic, rather than by library unit
- Promote librarian/faculty partnerships which have a strong information literacy component through short narratives, video clips, pictures, etc.
- Develop a video that showcases work across units, and that can be a "generic" pitch to faculty and administrators regarding the library's work in information literacy
- Provide an assessment toolkit for librarians that can be shared with faculty (course-related assessment and workshop assessment tools)
Timeline is below
December
- Provide Learning Objectives Website Administrator with brief statement, and accompanying photo, about the library's role in information literacy
