[Libs-Or] OA Collection of Transparent Design Library Instruction Resources

[Arch, Xan]

We are pleased to present an open access, library-specific collection of instruction materials created using transparent design principles. Hosted in Pacific University Libraries’ institutional repository, the Transparent Design in Library Instruction<https://commons.pacificu.edu/collection/f034f7d2-7f3c-4c34-bb4f-7e0c87f1e891> collection is freely available for use and we encourage others to add their transparently-designed materials to the collection.



This resource is the result of an Oregon LSTA-funded project that took place over the 2020-2021 academic year. The project focused on applying transparent design principles to library instruction and included a series of online workshops hosted by librarians across the state along with the repository of materials to adapt and re-use.


Included in the collection are the initial train-the-trainer workshop materials (slides and handouts) <https://commons.pacificu.edu/work/ns/d9f60362-fd67-4c39-b1e9-86256e2e11ea> from Melissa Bowles-Terry (UNLV), which can be adapted for use within your own library/organization. Please also note the two ebooks, one a self-paced introduction to transparent design for<https://commons.pacificu.edu/work/sc/70c613a3-a4c2-40c1-89c7-f36a95a7d726> library instruction (if you missed the workshops!) and the other an application of transparent design principles to library student employment.<https://commons.pacificu.edu/work/sc/49be573d-ee81-4372-bc4a-a5db56cbcf4d>


Thank you to all those who participated in this project, and especially those who have contributed the initial materials in this collection!
