On Thursday, October 17th, UConn Early College Experience hosted a virtual professional development training for certified ECE Library Media Specialists. The group connected via Webex and enjoyed discussions led by several representatives from the UConn Library. Student Success & Engagement Librarian Anna Twiddy kicked things off with a welcoming introduction, followed by a presentation on the library’s electronic resources, courtesy of Electronic Resources Librarian Kristina Edwards. Ery Caswell, another Student Success & Engagement librarian, then offered a thorough explanation of the library website and all of its search functions. Terry Palacios, an Associate in Interlibrary Services, then provided an overview of the Interlibrary Services available to ECE students and instructors. After a short break, Roslyn Kohlbrecher, a Pharmacy Librarian, gave our library media specialists the opportunity to explore using Google Scholar with UConn Library credentials. Finally, Erica Charis-Molling, an Instructional Design and Learning Librarian, offered some useful tips regarding the use of AI as a research partner.
Many important resources were shared! If you were unable to join us, we are happy to report that all information will be available on the ECE LibGuide (linked HERE) very soon.
