Bryan Alexander presents - Academia After the Storm: Higher Education’s New Futures

Where is academia headed? How did the extraordinary events of 2020 reshape higher education’s futures? What does it all mean for academic libraries? In this session we look forward to the future with a close eye on the present, starting by examining the major forces reshaping higher education before COVID-19 struck. These include demographics, macroeconomics, geopolitics, and enrollment. Next we summarize the pandemic’s impact on colleges and universities, forecasting long-term changes. Then we advance farther ahead to anticipate the ways climate change might transform academia.

A Systematic Approach to Investigating Learning Technology Integrations in Support of Information Literacy

Learning management systems (LMS) are designed to create, distribute, and manage the delivery of educational content. Integrating library resources and research assistance directly within the LMS allows students to access library materials directly through their course and reimagines the use of e-reserves. Allowing students access via the LMS reduces access barriers and places the library within the academic context of the course.Hannah McKelvey & Meghan Salsbury share their project to use LTI applications to promote library materials in the classroom.

Connecting Faculty to the Online World - Roundtable

How well does your faculty know what library resources best support them and their students?  Do you know what journals, ebooks, and streaming videos, might be valuable resources for classes?  Susan Matter will go over a few ideas for connecting faculty with online resources, but this is a roundtable event, so please share your ideas as well.

Online Performance Support - Helping Patrons Help Themselves with Meghan Salsbury & Star Bradley

Providing high-quality, accessible online performance support (or point-of-need) tools for students, faculty, and staff can help them successfully complete their work even when the library is closed. We will present on MSU Library’s work in the area of performance support including the updating of LibGuides, providing quick and easy tutorials through the library’s website, and integrating into the campus LMS (Brightspace).
