Building a Digital Museum: Opportunities for Scholarship and LearningNITLE
Most students and researchers of the theatre arts would seize the chance to stroll through a virtual museum featuring work by one of the world’s most prolific producers of scenic, costume, and lighting designs. That was the vision presented to Furman University when they were given the extraordinary opportunity to digitize the life’s work of renowned New York theatre designer, producer, painter, sculptor, and photographer Peter Wexler. The opportunity also presented a challenge. For a small staff at a liberal arts college, developing a strategy to digitally archive more than 6,000 artifacts within a tight timeframe could be daunting. Before converting the first item into digital format, consideration had to be given to how the collection might be used for teaching and scholarship. Furman’s Digital Collections Center is tackling this challenge as they document the creative process from preliminary sketches to final productions. In their presentation for NITLE Shared Academics, Furman University’s James B. Duke Library colleagues Rick Jones, manager of the Digital Collections Center, and Christy Allen, assistant director for Discovery Services, detailed the strategy and process of digitizing Peter Wexler’s work and how they prepared for the ways in which it will support teaching and scholarship.

A nursing journal club was started for mental health nurses to help disseminate evidence-based research findings. Due to scheduling difficulties with in-person meetings, an online hybrid journal club model was implemented using Padlet and Microsoft Teams. A survey found that nurses were interested but lacked time and confidence in critical appraisal. The hybrid model provided flexible access and support for critical appraisal skills. After one year, over 100 nurses had participated across 12 sessions. While challenges remain around securing time and technology barriers, the hybrid nursing journal club was a success in connecting research to practice.

It emphasizes that sustained investment of space, funding, and personnel are needed for makerspace success.
This document discusses the changing role of libraries and information literacy in a post-pandemic world. It notes that while libraries have traditionally focused on collections, catalogs, and user education, the modern information landscape requires a focus on digital and information literacies to help students navigate an uncertain digital future. The author advocates for libraries to take a leadership role in developing these literacies, and outlines her success in advocating for her library to create a new "Digital Learning Librarian" role focused on advancing digital literacy skills across the university.
Peter took a 10-week open course on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) which broadened his horizons and challenged his teaching practices, helping him become more creative. UDL improved his cultural awareness of diverse student groups by encouraging him to make learning materials, like using Lego, that are accessible to all students by addressing different learning styles. He is still exploring UDL and hopes to develop more interactive online tools to represent abstract concepts in concrete ways to make them easier for all students to comprehend.
