PDA Series: Renewing Networks: Rebuilding Bridges Online

Session Detials: Have you thought about the work relationships you need to renew and nourish? As academic librarians, we found COVID, distance learning, DFW (drop, fail, withdraw) rates, and artificial intelligence have all impacted the way university Composition professors work with their students and with us. Strong cross-departmental relationships are key to student success. What are some ways to rebuild those connections? This presentation addresses steps the Humanities Librarian and the new Research & Instruction Librarian have taken to rebuild networks with the Composition department, including some of the continuing challenges. Our experiences and insights are applicable to a variety of workplace relationships.

Presenters:

Amy Craig, Research and Instruction Librarian: Florida Gulf Coast University

Rachel Tait-Ripperdan, Digital Humanities Librarian: Florida Gulf Coast University
