This webinar will describe the benefits of gaining in-depth access to your campus’ learning management system with specific examples of how you can use that access to improve instruction sessions and reference interactions, guide collection development, and inspire specific faculty outreach opportunities. The focus will be on the Canvas learning management system. Beyond technical integration, we will discuss how to leverage LMS data to foster deeper collaborative relationships with faculty across various disciplines. We’ll examine how visible library presence within course shells can demystify research for students and streamline the teaching process for instructors. Join us and walk away with a practical roadmap for transforming the LMS from a static directory of links into a dynamic, data-driven hub for student success.
