Charge

How will students learn in the next decade? How can the Libraries contribute to their development as informed citizens? How can we ensure that our instruction continues to be effective? How can we affect learning in the online classroom, as well as outside of the classroom? How can we best reach our growing international student population? How will we contribute to academic integrity?

Sample issues:

  • Instruction
  • Assessment
  • Learning outcomes
  • General Education reform
  • Online learning
  • World Campus expansion
  • International students
  • Information literacy
  • Creating an informed citizenry

Assignment:

Gather input and provide a 2-3 page response to the following questions:

  1. What are the Libraries doing well in this area now that can be built upon?
  2. In this area, what are the most significant contributions the Libraries can make to the University in the next 5-10 years? What does success look like?
  3. What are the resource and expertise gaps we face in achieving this vision? What major accomplishments will enable our contributions?

Please plan to provide a written response to these questions by February 28, which will be shared with the entire libraries for feedback. A larger strategic planning retreat will be held in March.
