Congratulations to John Burke and Beth Tumbleson of Miami University Middletown, who were jointly nominated for their vast contributions to distance librarianship. They frequently co-present at national, state and regional conferences on topics that include marketing embedded librarian services, working within your institution’s LMS, and other hot topics in e-learning.
Additionally, John and Beth have co-authored several well-cited journal articles and, in 2013, they published Embedding Librarianship in Learning Management Systems: A How-To-Do-It Manual for Librarians (ISBN 1555708625). Whether you are just getting started in distance librarianship or you are looking for ways to streamline your services, you’ll find inspiration and guidance inside.
We look forward to their presentation at our DLIG Spring Workshop on Friday, May 15th at the Voice of America Learning Center in West Chester, Ohio (just north of Cincinnati). If you have ideas for presentations or would like to submit a proposal to present at the workshop, please contact one of the DLIG CoChairs at the emails below or at ohiodlig@gmail.com by January 31st. Topic ideas include virtual instruction, implementing new technology tools in distance librarianship, instructional design, assessment, and whatever is working (or didn’t work) for you! Workshop registration will open at the beginning of March, so stay tuned!
Your DLIG Co-Chairs,
Carrie Girton (girtonc@miamioh.edu) & Kathleen Pickens (kathleen.pickens@cincinnatistate.edu )
