Blending Instructional Design, Technology, and Librarianship

This site is designed to provide basic information about Blended Librarianship, and to provide information about the Blended Librarians Online Learning Community. We invite you to explore this site and learn more about Blended Librarianship and our community.

View the archived recording of a recent webcast, Participatory Librarianship and Change Agents is now available at the Blended Librarians Online Learning Community. Knowledge is created through conversation. Libraries are in the knowledge business. Therefore libraries are in the conversation business. This seemingly simple set of statements has profound implications for how libraries are run, and how they measure success. For example, it casts library services as centered on learning, and not access. This presentation will cover the basics of participatory librarianship, and talk about the need for librarians to become change agents within their own libraries and the communities they serve. This is a great opportunity to hear Dr. Lankes, an Associate Professor at Syracuse University's School of Information Studies, discuss participatory librarianship, which has commonalities with blended librarianship, without having to travel to a national or state conference.
