Before the first worshop:

Build your own Notebook LM to handle all the additional reading beyond the textbook and other projects/presentations.

Workshop 1: Introduction to the course and study of the community

• • Read Chapters 1-4

  • Find a collection or several collections you can use as the basis for the entire course.

  • Think about the makeup of the community; their needs, and what is currently happening to serve those needs during the post pandemic world.

  • Look at the library you are interested in, but also look at the other types of libraries in that community that are serving patron needs.

  • During the workshop, we will decide on the product of your investigation. The draft for Presentation 1 is due in workshop 2 and  the final will be due a week after Workshop 2. 

  • Pay attention to all the other libraries being studied by members of our group so that you get a much broader view of various patron groups, and how libraries are serving them
