Abstract

The University Libraries will host a facilitated round table discussion about virtual collections, resources, and instructional materials available to support your students' information literacy and research needs. The discussion will focus on two areas. First, we will talk about online collections, open education resources, and streaming media available through the Library. Second, we will talk about the instructional materials and support we offer, which includes online learning modules, a new Curriculum Center, the Digital Scholarship Center (DiSC), and other subject specific resources and programs.
