Abstract

How do we find the time to keep-up-date with the emerging technologies our students are using and also think creatively about how (or even if) we can use these tools ourselves to provide library services? TOTS (Tools for Outreach & Teaching Series), is a series of collaborative workshops developed by UBC librarians for all UBC library staff that allows us to explore emerging technologies and engage in discussion about their role and value in library services.
