VALA2004 Session 8 Wright Paper 45.53 KB

Abstract

How do librarians thrive and flourish in an era when the Virtual Learning Environment is gathering momentum, when digital resources are becoming more widespread and often less centralized? How do librarians remain important when the electronic matrix and the wider organisation is creating uncatalogued and unregistered information? This is a purposely- provocative paper that questions the way librarians conceive of, and use the resources they have available. The author asks that we as librarians rethink traditional design methods for information literacy and other programmes in the Virtual Learning Environment, to make fuller use of the available resource. The Author asks that we as librarians go beyond standard resource management and standard perceptions of the library and role of the librarian.

VALA2004 Session 8 Mare Paper 786.04 KB

Abstract

Holmesglen TAFE has developed an online Information Literacy tutorial in collaboration with the E-learning Unit. The paper explores the challenges faced as librarians worked with multimedia experts and the attempts to reconcile the expectations and aims of the two groups. Understanding the new pedagogy and tools required to successfully produce a dynamic tutorial, that gives similar depth to face-to-face tutorials, that content was comprehensive to cover Information Literacy standards, language appropriate for the target audience and information generic enough to deal with a variety of databases and interface also created challenges for the librarians. The result is Know it All!

Abstract

In October 2006, Yarra Plenty Library participated in the online learning program Learning 2.0, designed to introduce participants to the world of Web 2.0. Our journey since the instigation of this program has led us to new ways of delivering services to our community. This paper will outline the concept behind the Learning 2.0 Program, look at the Library Worker 2.0 follow-up training modules and the applications in which staff now use Web 2.0 technologies to provide new interactive services and programs for our community. It also outlines how we have shared our experiences with the wider library community.

Abstract

La Trobe University Library provides interlending and document delivery services to academic staff and postgraduate students located in campuses and research centres in the Melbourne metropolitan area and regional Victoria, as well as remote off campus students throughout Australia, and off shore students predominantly in China and Vietnam. In 2004, the Library implemented VDX software to manage all interlending and document delivery requests. ZPortal, the web based customer interface, provides request management and desktop delivery of documents. This paper describes the experience of developing online tutorials, in response to the need to provide a simple training solution for all end users in the use of this new system.
