Events

As we look to wrap up the semester and the calendar year, join the CARLI Instruction Committee for Grumble & Grow, a lightly facilitated event for instruction librarians to come together, reflect, share challenges, and celebrate small wins. 

As part of this year’s theme, “Trust Us:” The Role of Library Instruction in Transforming Landscapes, the Instruction Committee is exploring how trust shows up in our instruction work. As librarians, we navigate a complex information landscape shaped by declining trust in institutions and expertise, alongside habitual reliance on platforms such as AI, social media, influencers, and search engines, while striving to earn the trust of those we serve and work with.

This year many of us may have wrestled with instructional missteps, shifting student expectations, or the ever-present hum of imposter syndrome, experiences that can shake our confidence and make us question our roles as educators. Grumble & Grow offers a space to process those moments together as a community of practice through the lens of our theme, and to leave with a renewed sense of connection and possibility.

We hope you’ll join us.

The session will include an introduction to types of born-digital materials, an overview of the importance of preserving born-digital content, development of archival appraisal workflows, an overview of various open-source tools to assist with archival appraisal tasks. The webinar will focus heavily on workflows and decision-making for approaching archival appraisal and will provide an overview of resources for further consideration.

This webinar will draw heavily on the Digital POWRR approach to archival appraisal of born digital content.

If you are not familiar with Archival Appraisal, the CARLI Archives Committee encourages you to watch the recording of The Power of Appraisal: Selecting Archives. The recording is available in the Training section of the CARLI Archives and Special Collections Resources page.

Danielle Taylor is the Digital Preservation Librarian at Indiana University – Bloomington. She is in charge of overall strategies and workflows for digital preservation needs on campus. She manages the Born-Digital Preservation Lab, which migrates and handles born-digital content. She has served as an instructor with the Digital POWRR Program for over 10 years.

CARLI is pleased to offer a 3-week synchronous and asynchronous course on open educational resources. This virtual course includes material that was first shared with the CARLI membership during the Open Textbook Network Train-the-Trainer workshops.

This course will be offered December 2025 with the live sessions on December 3, 10, and 17, from 9:30 am - 11:00 am. Attendees should plan to attend each live session.

The live sessions will include some presentations, but the aim of the course planners is that these will incorporate a flipped classroom model to build community among participants as all share and discuss the topics.

Technology used for live sessions: Zoom, ideally participants will be able to use video as well as audio.
