Rethinking Student Engagement with Library Resources: Collaboration, Annotation, and the Librarian’s Role

Rethinking Student Engagement with Library Resources: Collaboration, Annotation, and the Librarian’s Role

Lean Library collaborated with HELibTech for an upcoming webinar all about deepening student engagement with course materials.

Catch up on the recording:

Join Ken Chad in conversation with Georgia Hajipieris, Product Manager for Talis and Matthew Weldon, Library Patron Consultant (both at Lean Library) as we examine how educators can bring reading, annotation, and collaboration directly into course reading lists. We will discuss perspectives on increasing collaboration in the classroom, sparking discussions and techniques to ensure reading lists go one step further with engagement. This is all while improving resource discoverability and decreasing the library’s cost per use for resources. Finally, we’ll discuss how to close the disconnect gap between the student and the library, with students feeling more connected to their course materials, adding value to the library as the heart of teaching and learning.

The webinar covers:

• How to close the gap between students and the library by embedding resources into their academic workflow.
• Strategies to support deeper student engagement, including reading, annotation, and collaboration within course reading lists.
• The librarian’s evolving role in helping students think critically, discover quality information, and stay connected to their coursework.
• Talis Engage: A new collaborative annotation and social reader feature that turn Talis Aspire reading lists into interactive learning hubs.
