Abstract:
Providing library research support and outreach is both complex and challenging. In addition, COVID-19 amplifies stress, anxieties, and disparities. This case study describes how designing and implementing an online ‘support space’ provides a more holistic and welcoming approach for all library stakeholders. Our goal is to meet students were they are, in Canvas (our LMS), and compile resources through librarian collaboration, into a one- stop location to make it easier for students to access and use. Additionally, librarians and professors can effortlessly reuse, remix, and recycle content for multiple purposes and to address specific student needs. By leveraging the HyFlex approach (Beatty, 2019), we incorporate a variety of learning delivery modalities and purposes and go beyond traditional library instruction, to include connections to people, diversity and equity resources, campus-wide support centers, and work-life balance resources. The framework for this resources is built upon the four components of the Schlossberg Theory of Transition (1995) – Situation, Support, Strategies and Self. This provides an opportunity to extend support beyond typical database and library support. The design includes customized content for our different student audiences and enables us to strengthen our support for students in a more accessible, equitable, and holistic way.
