Faculty Perceptions: Digital Teaching & Learning Services for the Academic Library

Abstract

This poster presents qualitative data gathered through semi-structured interviews with faculty on how the academic library of the future can support digital teaching and student learning needs on the UC San Diego campus. Input from faculty across academic disciplines identified as early adopters of educational technology were interviewed in order to define and identify a preliminary framework for digital teaching and learning support services for the UC San Diego Libraries to consider. Faculty ideas that emerged present transformative opportunities that extend far beyond the current framework of "instructional services" provided by academic libraries. Data also includes input on the role of the librarian in supporting faculty’s digital teaching.
