Best of Core Forum: Can’t find it, Build your Own

Date: Wednesday, May 29, 2024

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.



Description: How do we share information and procedures related to
acquisitions? We have documents, workshops, dedicated time in meetings in
person or Zoom, but is there a better way to provide information and
training while freeing up future time? While training can be time
intensive, it is a necessity; what if we transition to self-service modules
that can be used as a refresher at any time? Our Information literacy
colleagues have seen success developing asynchronous learning objects that
can be slotted into classes, which can free them up to focus on more
complex teaching and research. An acquisitions librarian partnered with an
instruction librarian who has experience in the creation of asynchronous
content to develop acquisitions based training modules. We identified a
platform and used existing training and documentation to scaffold a
selection of topics that were aimed at two user groups, Selectors and
Acquisitions Staff. Topics covered include understanding the selection
interface (GOBI) & searching, selecting, and evaluating items. The modules
are highly multimodal — a mix of written descriptions, videos, activities,
and games — to keep the material engaging and reinforce topics, while
grouping similar concepts to allow for replayability and reinforcement.
We’ll demonstrate and share how we built our modules, our preliminary
assessment data, and where we plan to go next.

Learning outcomes:

At the end of the webinar, attendees will be able to:

   -

   Discuss the pros and cons of asynchronous learning in order to evaluate
   its appropriateness for internal trainings
   -

   Analyze the trainings and/or onboarding offered within their department
   or library in order to identify gaps that may be prime candidates for
   targeted instruction
   -

   Compare the features of different learning or content-hosting platforms
   in order to determine which might be the best fit for their institution

Who should attend?

This is a beginner level content, but can be of use to intermediate as
well. Acquisitions departments staff; attendees are also encouraged to
consider areas outside Tech Services where this type of asynchronous
training implementation could be useful.
