The document outlines the University of College Dublin (UCD) Library's new strategy to provide information literacy instruction through an embedded librarian program within specific degree programs, piloting this approach with the Arts and Science and Principles of Scientific Enquiry modules. It describes the collaboration between librarians and faculty to develop online tutorials, workshops, and other materials to teach over 1,600 first-year students key research skills. The lessons learned from these initial pilots provide a framework to expand information literacy instruction to other degree programs at UCD.
The document discusses services and support for international students at UK universities and libraries. It provides statistics on the rising numbers of international students globally and in the UK. It also outlines strategies libraries are using to support international students, such as dedicated staff, adapted resources and materials in other languages, information literacy instruction considering different learning styles, and guidelines for clear communication. Barriers include a lack of university-wide international strategies and limited library staff time dedicated to international students. The document advocates for a more inclusive approach based on the SCONUL guidelines.
The less we talk about libraries the better - Nick Bevan | Talis Insight Euro...Talis
The document outlines 8 propositions about the future of libraries:
1. Libraries should focus on research support problems rather than teaching support, which has tools already in place.
2. Universities fail students when departments work in silos instead of viewing course support as a system.
3. Libraries have failed to address digital literacy and focused too much on information literacy.
4. Libraries' recent focus on employability is partly misguided.
5. If libraries are now learning spaces, librarians should be more interested in learning spaces overall.
6. Content and assessment will increasingly merge digitally.
7. Data is complex and not about libraries.

Library learning spaces and technology - 7th November 2017Santanu Vasant
The document discusses research on learning spaces and how they have evolved. It provides an overview of where current research on learning spaces is focused. Some of the key challenges to new learning spaces are the slow transition from teacher-centered to student-centered models and difficulties navigating stakeholder engagement. However, learning spaces with opportunities for both individual "alone" work and collaborative "together" work can benefit students' learning journeys. Effective library learning space design considers providing different areas that allow students control, comfort, and opportunities for both collaboration and individual focused work.

TU Delft is committed to providing open and online education to enable access to its top education programs worldwide. It has launched several open education initiatives including OpenCourseWare (OCW) and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) under its DelftX online education program. TU Delft conducted pilots integrating OER into two on-campus courses and found benefits for students like being better prepared for class, and benefits for faculty like students asking more insightful questions. While student performance increased in one course, the impact requires more validation. TU Delft aims to further explore how to better integrate finding and using OER into on-campus education.

Leeds City College serves over 20,000 students across multiple campuses, with many coming from deprived areas and lacking English and math qualifications. The document discusses support provided by study support officers and librarians to help students transition from further education (FE) to higher education (HE). In 2018/19, 315 FE and 244 HE students received one-on-one or group sessions on skills like plagiarism, referencing, and essay writing. While only 204 FE students progressed internally to the University Centre that year, the college aims to improve progression through an independent skills app covering areas from digital literacy to employability.
This document summarizes a content analysis of journal articles published between 2008-2012 by current permanent faculty at Canadian schools granting ALA-accredited Master's degrees in library and information studies. The analysis found that while 72% of articles were considered research, 65% of research articles and 47% of total articles were related to librarianship. Common domains studied included information access/retrieval and collections. Very few articles had librarian co-authors.

UNSW Library has undergone significant changes over the past decade in response to the increasing shift to digital resources and online learning. The library abolished subject-specific branches, eliminated front desk and technical services departments, and redesigned library spaces. This has allowed the library to release resources to develop new services focused on research support, like research data management and research publications management. The library is also moving services online and emphasizing self-service options to better serve a large student population in the digital environment. Overall, the changes have positioned the library to redefine its role in supporting research in new ways.
Introduction to Open: Plymouth State CETL PresentationRobin DeRosa
1) OPEN stands for Open Educational Resources, Open Pedagogy, and Open Access. OER are teaching resources that can be freely used and modified, including full courses, materials, videos, and tools.
2) Using OER can significantly reduce student textbook costs, which have increased 812% since 1978 compared to a 3.2% inflation rate. High textbook costs negatively impact students' learning by causing them to not purchase or drop courses.
3) Open pedagogy focuses on community and collaboration over content, treating education as a learner-developed process rather than experts imparting knowledge. It enables customization of required texts and creative approaches to learning outcomes, assignments, and grading.

The Impact of TEF and Proposed Sector Changes on Academic Libraries - Liz Jol...Talis
The document summarizes the key points of the UK government's "Green Paper" on higher education reform and discusses its potential impacts on academic libraries. It outlines proposed changes like the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) and new regulatory bodies. It then explores how these reforms could affect the roles of academic libraries in areas like content and scholarly communication, physical and learning spaces, supporting learners and researchers, and the future roles of library staff. The presentation argues libraries must align their strategies to institutional missions and collaborate more broadly across partnerships.
The Open University of Sudan has been using open educational resources (OER) since 2008. It aims to provide higher education opportunities through open learning to help human development. As the first open university in Sudan established in 2002, it serves a vast, diverse country with limited university enrollment through a mix of online and in-person education delivery. It has translated TESSA teaching materials into Arabic and trained over 53,000 teachers. While OER help increase access, the university faces challenges in promoting OER concepts, encouraging sharing, addressing intellectual property issues, and developing platforms and policies.
