    (Routledge, 2023-04-06) Gammons, Rachel W.; Luckert, Yelena; Inge-Carpenter, Lindsay; Armendariz, Anastasia
    University of Maryland (UMD) Libraries has a large teaching program that serves between 16,000 and 20,000 students per academic year. This chapter documents the transformation of UMD Libraries’ teaching program from an individualistic approach to a strong community of practice based on the mutual affirmation, support, and respect of library teachers, and includes the following sections: (1) history of the UMD Libraries’ teaching program, with special attention to how the program has been shaped by the Libraries’ partnership with the UMD Academic Writing Program (ENGL101); (2) overview of the theoretical framework of Communities of Practice (COP); (3) exploration of COP at UMD Libraries, including analysis of two teacher training programs, the Research and Teaching Fellowship, and Fearless Teaching Institute; and (4) recommendations for practice.

    Academic Libraries in the Time of Pandemic and Thereafter: What changed and what is here to stay?
    (2022-05-24) Luckert, Yelena
    This presentation discusses the University of Maryland Libraries' response to the Covid-19 pandemic and the immediately following period of resuming operation. Did the pandemic teach us anything? Are there things that have changed us forever? Libraries all over the world have had to deal with these issues. We are one example of many. But coming this far, we are happy to share our experiences and learn from others in hopes that we can help each other cope and serve our users to the best of our abilities.
