Week of March 1st, 2021

Knowledge Organization for Knowledge Makers

March 2 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm

 

Why are all the books on a topic grouped together in the library? There’s more to this question than you think! Join us for an introduction to library cataloging and classification for library users. You’ll learn the basics of how librarians make decisions about what goes where. What kinds of research do they make possible and what do they keep hidden? The more you know about how librarians put these elements together, the better you’ll be at research. Attendees will leave the session with a deeper appreciation of knowledge organization and the skills to get what they want out of library catalogs and databases.

This event is hosted by Emily Drabinski and Amanda Belantara (NYU).

Exploring & Expanding Open Pedagogy

March 9 @ 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm

 

How does open pedagogy intersect with frameworks of language, storytelling, translation, and linguistics? In this interactive session, we’ll discuss the work of three former Open Pedagogy Fellows – Inés Vañó Garcia, Tania Avilés, and Anthony Harb – as well as the practical steps towards converting a language-focused OER course. This event is supported by a Doctoral Curriculum Enhancement Grant through the Publics Lab, and funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
