Teaching SIG on ARLISNA Commons 2 years, 11 months agoHey Christine! I would second what Carla-Mae and Lora have said. I would also add that these types of workshops are relevant to the business of libraries in a variety of ways. Engaged or active learning experiences (like the ones you’ve described) are a fundamentally important pathway for learning. They are also important manifestations of…[Read more]

Lora Farrell replied to the topic Teaching workshops or sessions that are not specifically research related. in the discussion
Teaching SIG on ARLISNA Commons 2 years, 11 months agoI think these kinds of workshops are a great idea for the library.

Some students feel uncomfortable coming to the staff and asking questions. Having informal workshops, or mind…[Read more]

Teaching SIG on ARLISNA Commons 2 years, 11 months agoHi Christine,
My library does a lot of these kinds of events. We’ve had puzzle, coloring and lego tables, whiteboard prompts on random topics for the students to write/draw their responses, therapy dogs, zine making etc. As you suggested, we view these as a way to make the library a welcoming community hub – not unlike the public library. It’s…[Read more]

Teaching SIG on ARLISNA Commons 2 years, 11 months agoHi librarian hive mind. I was wondering how many other librarians, esp. in art & design schools and universities, put on “fun” workshops for their students and/or faculty. If so, do you get any pushback from administration because it’s not specifically research-related? How do you justify it to those who object? At Columbus College of Art & Design…[Read more]
