The Usable and Accessible Library Space

A primary goal for librarians is to connect people with the information that they need. While librarians play a very large part in this process, we must not forget the role of library spaces. Libraries should be attractive, yes, but above all, they should be usable and accessible to all patrons. Develop the fundamentals for conducting a usability and accessibility audit for library spaces that will yield solutions for improving library layout, signage, and services, thus optimizing its usage.

How to Teach Online

With the increasing prevalence of online learning, librarians must be adaptable in their teaching styles to meet the needs of students. Master best practices for online teaching, including designing engaging and interactive online lessons, assessing student learning, and delivering effective feedback. Overcome common challenges when teaching online, managing time and workload, maintaining student engagement, and ensuring accessibility for all learners.
