Transcript of Reimagining the Library in the Wake of Technology Terra Jacobson
How we think about technology
How do you feel about technology and what you offer your students in your
library?
Vision for Technology
We envision a library that is not just a purchaser of content, but also a producer of content that is created by our students, faculty, and staff.
A Changing Mission
The library has a direct teaching mission to students centering on information literacy but also providing learning
support in ways that other departments cannot.
Changing Infrastructure
Provides access
Educates students, staff and faculty
Expands the notions of information literacy
Acts as a platform for community dialog
Redefining our role?
Assisting students in developing their own content.
Helping them recognize quality (or lack of) in sources
Moving from Books (Print or Electronic) to other forms of communication for primary content (podcasts, short films, presentations, instructional videos)
Connecting to students
