This month’s Libraries newsletter offers examples of ways a library fosters learning by engaging multiple perspectives to address a common topic of interest, including a look back at the recent SCUP Mid-Atlantic Symposium on informal learning spaces.

Last term, students in Professor Scott Knowles’ course, The History of Drexel University, got some first-hand experience in the Drexel University Archives.

This month, the Libraries sat down with Library Faculty Fellow Douglas Baird to learn more about his work to raise awareness of Open Educational Resources (OERs) at Drexel. 

The Drexel Libraries welcomed Ted Daeschler, Curator of Vertebrate Zoology at the Academy of Natural Sciences and a professor in Drexel’s College of Arts and Sciences, to the June ScholarSip event, where he discussed the importance of communicating geoscience research to inspire citizen engagement.
