November 4: Digital Literacy in Post Secondary Education
by Amanda Coolidge (she/her) 19 Oct '22

19 Oct '22

Hello All! Registration is now OPEN<https://events.eply.com/2022ETUGWorkshopNov4> for the Fall Educational Technology Users Group Event on November 4. This year’s theme is: Digital Literacy! [cid:image001.jpg(a)01D8E396.1E7DF380] Despite the recovery from the pandemic, the number of academic programs and courses delivered in hybrid or fully online formats will likely remain high. At the same time, an increasing number of instructors are trying out HyFlex delivery — giving students options about whether they come to class or learn online. Digital literacy, for both instructors and students, impacts effective use of these delivery modes. But how can digital literacy support teaching and learning for online, hybrid, and HyFlex courses? What does a student need to be digitally literate? What does an instructor need to be digitally literate? Hope to see you there Amanda -------------- My working hours may be different to yours. Please do not feel obligated to reply outside of yours.

Looking forward towards the ‘After Times' NonCon June 3
by Lin Brander 16 May '22

16 May '22

Hello friends and colleagues, We are pleased to invite you to BCIT’s seventh annual Non-Con event on the morning of June 3rd. As always, it will offer all the fun practical takeaway tips and networking opportunities of attending a conference, without the cost or need to travel. This year’s theme is “Looking forward towards the ‘After Times'*" (*we hope). In the spirit of the hybrid world we find ourselves in, we are pleased to offer both an in-person and online experience. You are welcome to come for the coffee and conversation at the BCIT library’s Burnaby campus or attend via Zoom. We hope to capture the best of the two environments this way – both to foster the rare networking opportunities of face to face and extend attendance to those beyond the lower mainland as well. A full agenda will be sent out to participants closer to the date, but the timing would be 9:30-12:30 online with coffee for in-person participants at 9:00. How do you know if the Non-Con is of interest to you? If information and digital literacy, instruction and/or active learning, open education or teaching with technology are topics you are interested in, then this Non-Con is for you! Academic and Public libraries, librarians and lib-techs are all welcome. In the spirit of sharing and learning, we are asking everyone to prepare a short (5 min) talk on any of the following topics: • a teaching experience • a resource you would recommend • a technology you have used in class • an open education project or practice Really, we are interested in anything you want to share. We have all pivoted to an online learning/programing environment and back again, so maybe you have a trick that has worked well for you from the ‘before’ times or a new trick that suits either environment. We are also hoping to facilitate a roundtable discussion about how to maximize services and programming in a hybrid world moving forward. The event is free but space is limited, so RSVP to this email soon, and please indicate whether you plan to attend in person or online. Deadline is May 25th. We hope you can join us! Sincerely, Deirdre Grace, Jeff Verbeem, Lin Brander and Alison Griffin BCIT Non-Con event organizers Lin Brander| Librarian, Electronics & Computer Systems; Open Education|British Columbia Institute of Technology T 604-432-8922<tel:604-432-8922>| E lbrander(a)bcit.ca<mailto:lbrander(a)bcit.ca>| W bcit.ca/library<http://www.bcit.ca/library/> | O https://www.bcit.ca/open/

determining what open content to add to catalogues
by Lin Brander 01 Apr '22

01 Apr '22

I would like to report back on my action item from the March meeting: Action Item - Lin - Explore if the open access filter and including open access resources in catalogue is a Summons issue or if it extends to other library systems (e.g. EDS). Thank you to FX Pare, Systems Librarian at BCIT, for this excellent and detailed explanation: The short answer: This could apply to any system, not just Summon/Serials Solutions. However, the details of where/how this is controlled will likely vary from one system to another. Similarly, the collections themselves (exact name, number of titles, etc.) could vary to some extent between software products. The long answer: In general, I see four main areas where a library could have a decision to make regarding OA content. Again this should apply to any system, but it could present itself differently from one to the other (some elements might be combined, some might be automatic, etc.). 1) Activating the collections (or not) in the Link Resolver (this could be 360 Link, SFX, Alma, Full Text Finder, etc.). Impacts: - A patron using the "Get It" button will be presented with a link to the full text of the article. - The activated titles will be included in the e-journals/e-books lists, if those are available. In some cases this could be controlled separately (so titles could be available through "Get It" but not be listed, for example). 2) Exporting individual e-journal/e-book records (or not) for those titles to the ILS/Discovery interface (Summon, Primo, EDS, etc.). For some systems this might be automatic once a title is activated in the link resolver, but in other cases this might be controlled on a collection-by-collection basis. Impact: - There will now be individual records for the selected OA e-books and e-journals in the Catalogue/Discovery interface. 3) Adding individual article records for the OA titles (or not) to the search results in the Discovery interface. Impact: - Records for individual articles coming from those collections will show up in search results. There is potentially a second level at play here, which is whether the records would be considered part of the library's collection, or whether they would only appear when the user clicks "Show results beyond the library's collection" (or something along those lines). This could either be determined by the activation status in the Link Resolver (see 1 above) or perhaps some systems would assume that the documents are available, given that they are from an Open Access title/collection (see 4 below). 4) Activating (or not) the Open Access filter (aka facet) and/or indicator in the Discovery interface. This is usually an all-or-nothing option, meaning that it's either activated or not, and can't be controlled on a collection-by-collection or title-by-title basis. The determination of whether a record is from an Open Access journal or not is often based on a central directory of journals such as Ulrich's. Impacts: - Users will be able to filter search results based on the "Open Access" nature of the documents. - There can also be some sort of flag, icon or label in each record, indicating that they describe Open Access content. Ideally there would be some sort of consistency between these four areas in a given institution, meaning that if a collection is deemed trustworthy or interesting enough to be activated in the link resolver, it would also make sense to have the individual articles appear in the Discovery interface, etc.. But there might exceptions, which is why those areas can usually be controlled separately. One last thing that I think I mentioned before but bears repeating: an additional difficulty in working across different systems is that the available collections themselves might not be totally similar from one institution to the next. Some collections might be available in one resolver but not in another, some collections might have a slightly different name or number of titles, etc. This could make collaboration more difficult, but it's not necessarily a deal-breaker either, as there would likely be significant similarities as well.
