The ‘Level up! Building the Skills’ session will highlight various concepts that can be used to boost library communities in the widest sense of the word: from supporting students with virtual games to the implementation of national Open Science strategies, and many things in between. Would you like to find out how these are connected, and what they have to do with skills? Then please join this session! The first presentation by Elisa Rodenburg presents the Data Horror Virtual Escape Room, a virtual escape room designed to introduce basic research data management concepts to university staff and students through the format of an online escape room game. They will discuss how game-based learning (GBL) has been gaining increasing attention as a way to enhance learning and how it offers an opportunity to broaden the audience for traditional library-taught training. Not only will attendees learn how it can be be used by any library as it is, but additionally how the concept can also easily be reproduced and adapted to other contexts and settings.
The second presentation by Anne Calvert Barnhart explores LibraryDen, an Open online asynchronous information literacy course in the course management system (CMS). The goals for the project were to create a useful learning object with integrated assessment that would help students and be appealing to faculty as an assignment. The team also wanted the end result to be easy to maintain with reduced personnel and something that the larger library community could also benefit from. In this presentation, the team leader will describe the remoted and distributed work that made the project successful. The presentation will also address how student learning is measured and assessed through the course. Participants will also discuss the possibilities of and obstacles to implementing this idea at their home institutions.
The third presentation by Rebecca Bryant and Astrid Verheusen discusses the multi-part OCLC-LIBER Open Science Discussion Series, developed with the aim of engaging the library community in envisioning an ideal future for Open Science and to discuss the roles of research libraries in furthering Open Science goals. In this presentation, OCLC and LIBER representatives share findings from both the Fall 2020 OCLC-LIBER Open Science Discussion Series and the subsequent Social Interoperability Workshop Series, including lessons learned on how libraries can engage stakeholders across their institution.
Finally, a lightning talk by Irena Vipavc Brvar will discuss RDA Node Slovenia, formed in February 2019 within the RDA Europe 4.0 project to connect national Open Science stakeholders, promote the culture of data sharing and contribute to the implementation of the National Open Science Strategy. The talk will present the process of adaptation, the use, and the impact of the document for RDM practice in Slovenia, placing it in the context of other Open Science initiatives currently underway in the Slovenian research community.
