Our approach to IDL skills development
Our team of IDL experts work with Academic Liaison Librarians (ALLs) to provide learning experiences that:
- use our resources responsibly and equitably
- build partnerships and leverage inter-professional expertise
- enhance educational outcomes
- provide value
- encourage evidence-based approaches and experimentation.
The Library’s outlines the different tiers of learning experiences we provide to support skills development of your students.
