Registration is now open for the next LILi (Lifelong Information Literacy) Show & Tell webinar. Titled “Reimagining Library Spaces and Services to Meet the Needs of Pandemic-Traumatized Faculty and Students”, the webinar will take place from 12:00 to 1:00 PM CDT on Wednesday, February 9. The presenters are Zoia Falevai and Stephanie Robertson. A description and the registration link are below.
Librarians at the Joseph F. Smith (JFS) Library at BYU-Hawaii are reimagining library services and spaces to address the way our faculty and students have been affected due to the pandemic. We are considering a more holistic approach that encompasses blended learning and mindfulness. Our librarians will come from a place of compassionate listening and flexibility by using strengths-based, student-centered frameworks that re-exam how our library services and spaces can support help-seeking, self-efficacy, and self-regulation after living through what has been a traumatic and disorienting couple of years for students transitioning into face-to-face environments again-many of which are attending college in general for the first time. Plan to come away from this webinar with best practices, affirming discussion, and CC-licensed customizable assignments, resources, and workshop ideas for your library.
