Thirty two
percent of the approximately 21 million college students were taking at least
one online course in 2011 (Allen & Seaman, 2013). Most accrediting agencies
stipulate that library services available to on-campus students must be made
available to online students. This three week course will discuss ways
librarians may embed their skills in the virtual campus through its learning
management system through the use of portal tabs, blocks, eReserves, knowledge
bases, and student/faculty orientations. Discussion will turn to transferring
bibliographic instruction into the online class through the use of team
teaching, guest lecturing, and conducting synchronous workshops. The session
concludes with an examination of the librarian as both a subject matter liaison
and copyright point person during the design and development of online courses.
This course is relevant to instruction librarians, outreach librarians, and
embedded librarians who seek ways to infuse library resources and services to
their growing virtual campuses.
