    Keep teaching: Using disruption as a catalyst for change.
    (portal: Libraries and Academy, 2022) Gammons, Rachel Wilder; Inge Carpenter, Lindsay; Shaw, Benjamin; Wilson, Suzanne
    In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, the University of Maryland (UMD) Libraries quickly switched to online teaching and learning. This disruption created a chance for innovation, allowing the UMD Libraries to scale back nonessential functions and focus on improving mission-critical work. The authors present the teaching program at UMD Libraries as a case study for innovation under pressure, highlighting three areas: (1) redevelopment of the Fearless Teaching Institute, an online professional development program for library teachers; (2) transition of a fundamental program—the Academic Writing Program—from an in-person to an online learning environment; and (3) redesign of the Research and Teaching Fellowship, a teacher training program for master of library and information science (MLIS) students, all to better support online learning and pedagogy.

    Kids in the Library: Enacting Joy in the Academic Workplace Through the Creation of a Family Study Space
    (IGI Global, 2020) Gammons, Rachel; Corlett-Rivera, Kelsey; Kletscher, Karina
    While children’s services are traditionally associated with public libraries, the increase in students with dependent children means that academic libraries are increasingly being called to provide family-friendly spaces. Using the University of Maryland Libraries as a case study, the authors detail the process of developing, implementing, and overseeing family-friendly services, including a family study room and activity kits for children. They argue there is value in welcoming families into the academy and projects, such as a family study room, worthy not only for the contributions they make to the community but also for the opportunity to enact joy in our daily practice as academic librarians.

    Helping Parents in a Pinch: An Academic Library Becomes More Family-Friendly
    (American Libraries, 2020-03) Gammons, Rachel; Corlett-Rivera, Kelsey
    Children are present in many types of libraries—not just the public variety. The expense and difficulties of arranging childcare mean that even academic library patrons often need to bring young ones along when studying or browsing the stacks. Now, through the creation of a family study space and other amenities, the University of Maryland Libraries has made it easier for parents, caregivers, and children to visit.
