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, Becoming an Educational Change Agent is now available at the Blended Librarians Online Learning Community. We explored the changing role of academic teaching and learning "support" staff. How it has evolved over the past decade, and where are our job descriptions going? How much of our work is reactive, and how much of is advocacy for changes in instructional paradigms? How are the roles between instructional designers and librarians demarcated, and where are they beginning to shift or merge? Is learning technology itself an emerging academic discipline? We began with a brief presentation on these issues by Josh Kim and Barbara Knauff, Senior Learning Technologists at Dartmouth College (see their recent Educause Review column on these issues, "Business Cards for the Future"), but the majority of the session will be given over to a participant discussion of these issues.
