Understanding the Undergraduate Workflow: Library and Faculty Partnerships

In this third episode on the undergraduate workflow, Ian Snowley, Dean of Student Learning Development & University Librarian at the University of Lincoln, Jamie Wood, professor of History and Education at the University of Lincoln, Samantha Sharman, a student at the University of Lincoln, and Matt Hayes, Managing Director at Technology from SAGE, discuss how faculty and librarians can partner for heightened student engagement. In particular, Ian underscores the significance of librarians embedding themselves into the curriculum to support every step of a student’s academic journey. In addition, Jamie shares why faculty should aid traditionally librarian-centered areas of study like information or digital literacy. Last, our guests chat about the evolution of the library’s services, the development of new teaching strategies, and how administration can bolster support for these partnerships instead of relying on bottom-up implementation.
