The URI University Libraries’ Faculty Development Committee is proud to announce two programs for Spring 2016:
Design for LibGuides that Work
Kris Markman of Harvard University
Friday 19 February 2016 1-2:30pm
Galanti Lounge, 3rd Floor, Carothers Library, Kingston
Dr. Kris Markman is the Online Learning Librarian and leads the Digital Learning & User Experience (DLUX) department at the Harvard Library. She will bring her extensive professional experience and the results of a year of user testing to URI to suggest how to make the most out of the popular library content management system LibGuides. She will discuss what works and what doesn’t, best practices, and whether/how students read the guides.
The Digital Divide
Jessamyn West of Open Library/Internet Archive
Monday 18 April 2016 1-2:30pm
Galanti Lounge, 3rd Floor, Carothers Library, Kingston
Jessamyn West is a librarian and technologist working in the intersections of libraries, technology, and politics. She will discuss the digital divide
— the gap between the digital haves and have nots — and how that divide is shaping domestic and international information access, politics, and economies.
These programs are free and open to the public.
