When Covid-19 solidified the need for online learning, three early-career librarians from different institutions began meeting monthly to trade ideas and share insights into the world of digital library instruction. The presenters will discuss their use of Google Docs as a collaborative space in a virtual world, Google Forms as an asynchronous tool to promote digital literacy, and Google Sites as an ideal environment for engaging library patrons in an escape room. Participants will have the opportunity to experience these tools, including the escape room, and will leave inspired to utilize Google Suites and engage in their own inter-institutional collaborations.
Participants will:
- Engage their students in information literacy instruction using tools from the GoogleSuite
- Design and implement their own escape room, digital library notebook, or collaborative GoogleDoc
