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 service model (pdf, 120KB) outlines the different tiers of learning experiences we provide to support skills development of your students.
IDL partnerships
Partner with Academic Liaison Librarians to design assessments in core (or equivalent) units of study and develop workshops or learning objects. To partner with Academic Liaison Librarians, reach out via our Contact a Librarian page.
