  11. Information Literacy and the Library 101: Usage Statistics User Traffic 1517 ‘significant’ hits for current semester 1180 users explored Content Areas:

  12. Implications • Why the disparities? • Extremely high interest in “What is Info Lit?” • Surprisingly low interest in other areas • Meeting/anticipating users’ needs • Expanding course promotion at points of need • More UVI library-specific material to be added

Promoting Library support for curricula through the CENTER FOR EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING AND LEARNING (CETL) • Bridge built through collaboration between academic affairs and Information & Technology Services (ITS) • Librarians’ role in collection development, & information literacy, blending with instructional design • Integrated Library & Academic Technology committee

  15. In the beginning, there was a PLAN • The ITS 5-Year Plan for Curriculum and Technology Support - the foundation to develop the CETL & the avenue for Library involvement • The PLAN supports Strategic Planning 2012 initiatives: • Strategic Goal #1 To create a technology support system for faculty and students to enhance teaching and learning outcomes - Strategic Goal #2 To establish a training and professional development program

  16. As the PLAN unfolds • Use of Portal and Blackboard for IL asynchronous training • Building librarian skills to contribute to curriculum development and delivery • Streamline library collection development through CETL • Librarians responsible for Freshman Development Seminar courses • Clearinghouse for faculty scholarly contributions • Using Internet2 to supplement library resources

  17. Imagining the future – ACRL’s Report • FUTURES THINKING FOR ACADEMIC LIBRARIANS: HIGHER EDUCATION IN 2025 Prepared by: David Staley & Kara Malenfant, June 2010 • 26 scenarios for future based on emerging trends, applications and user behaviors • At least four scenarios already here

  18. “... our future is neither predetermined nor predictable: it is, rather, something which lies within our hands, to be shaped and molded by the choices we make in the present time” (Mead, M. (2005). The world ahead: An anthropologist anticipates the future in Futures Thinking for Academic Librarians: Higher Education in 2025, by Staley, D.J. & Malenfant, K. J. 2010)
