A monthly round-up of news, upcoming working group meetings and events, and CLIR program updates from the Digital Library Federation.
This month’s news:
- The DLF Digital Library Pedagogy group invites all interested digital pedagogy practitioners to contribute to a literacy- and competency-centered #DLFteach Toolkit, an online, open resource focused on lesson plans and concrete instructional strategies. For additional information, see the CFP. If you are interested in contributing a lesson to the toolkit and/or being a peer reviewer, please complete the intent to contribute form. Proposals are due by September 1, 2021. Questions can be sent to dlfteach.toolkit3@gmail.com.
- On August 11, all Twitter updates about CLIR’s Recordings at Risk and Digitizing Hidden Collections grants and grantees will move to one account, @CLIRgrants. Make sure to follow the @CLIRHC Twitter account so you’ll be ready once it transitions to @CLIRgrants!
