A presentation at Connect More in England (Manchester), 27 June 2019. Speaker: Lis Parcell, subject specialist (libraries and digital resources), Jisc. If your college or university is looking to create a more digitally-enabled organisation, your library or learning resources service should be a key asset. If you work in a library or learning resources service, you’ll know that your digital capability – whether it’s delivering online content, engaging users or facilitating digital literacy - is essential for helping students and academics succeed. But how can we maximize the potential of the library or learning resources service in digital practice? We will look at questions such as: What technologies for learning and teaching do libraries need to have their eye on? How might the shape and role of the library/learning resources service evolve amid rapid digital change? How can staff collaborate across different roles in the digitally-enabled organisation?
