    From Individual to Community: Building a Community of Practice Around Teaching
    (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.

    Teach Smarter with Free Library Resources
    (2022-02-24) Tchangalova, Nedelina
    Will your students be required to do a literature review? Do you want your students to be effective researchers and produce better papers for your class? If you answered YES to these questions, don’t delay! Contact a librarian and start planning together for a library session for your students! As the librarian for the School of Public Health, I find that most students have very little knowledge of the resources available to them, or even where to begin serious literary research. How can I help? Have a guest lecture with or without any interactive tools, design a website with resources for one-stop shopping for information resources, meet with students via Zoom, and engage with them through Kahoot!, crossword puzzles, funny quizzes, etc. The librarians are part of the team of UMD faculty who are here to make sure you are a success!

    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.

    Starting with “Yes, And...”: Collaborative Instructional Design in Digital Scholarship
    (Library Orientation Exchange (LOEX), 2016) Dohe, Kate; Pappas, Erin
    Improv principles and techniques are applicable in any instance of teaching: respect your partner, know your audience, work the room, jump in with both feet, agree agree agree. These techniques take for granted that this form of instruction and collaboration is new for both partners, that neither person is the expert, and that the content and situations will have to be recreated anew in every classroom and workshop. In this workshop, two librarians and former improv and theater instructors lead workshop attendees through some of the fundamentals of improv, and reflect upon how these same activities and principles help create an environment of collaboration and openness necessary to support the diverse goals of digital scholarship.
