When looking to increase communication and collaboration in our library, we created a team of physical sciences/engineering librarians, library assistants, and administrators. Together, we work on setting priorities, sharing expertise, and developing skills. In three years, we have moved from traditional subject-based instruction responsibilities to working as a team to prepare and co-instruct classes. By sharing with you the benefits of our team-based system to our librarians, library system, and users, we want to inspire you to think about how to implement a similar system in your own library.

Over the past two years, Western Libraries has created numerous online, video tutorials with the intent of helping students grasp various information literacy concepts. These video tutorial are mounted on Western’s YouTube channel, and on Western Libraries’ website. Tutorial topics were determined by identifying recurring Information Literacy issues, by examining existing library instruction material, and by surveying faculty. The tutorials utilize various styles. While many tutorials teach concepts, some teach specific library tools. Our poster includes a summary report of assessment results.
