Escaping the Library: Students expecting a fun orientation
This workshop will share how escape room activities can be effective in engaging students through experiential learning, especially during the hectic orientation period. We’ll share how we front-loaded this orientation activity – heavy on preparation during the summer, mostly active observing during the actual activity. We’ll look at how important it is to debrief and have students reflect on their thought process, behaviors, and actions.

The wind beneath my wings: falling in and out of love with an online library research skills tutorial
After launching the Concordia Library Research Skills Tutorial, we wanted to know whether or not it was useful for students writing research assignments. We employed a novel evaluation method which consisted of asking students to write a love or breakup letter addressed to the tutorial. The goal was to allow students to freely and creatively express themselves and draw out their emotional responses. This presentation will look at key themes identified in the letters, the benefits and pitfalls of this rarely-used methodology and whether online library learning tools such as ours can become everyday superheros for both students and librarians.
La bibliothèque scolaire de l’avenir : collaborer pour mettre en œuvre des carrefours d’apprentissage intégrant un laboratoire créatif
Le Ministère de l’Éducation encourage la transition de la bibliothèque scolaire vers des carrefours d’apprentissage. C’est pourquoi, nous avons créé une CoPV réunissant plusieurs équipes-écoles de différentes commissions scolaires afin de réfléchir à comment le carrefour d’apprentissage pourrait offrir une variété d’espaces, d’outils et de ressources au service de la pédagogie active. Cette communication présente notre démarche, notre approche en design thinking et le résultat de la collaboration en ligne. Nous présenterons des exemples concrets et des pistes de solution pour que les carrefours d’apprentissage intègrent des laboratoires créatifs et servent les compétences du XXIe siècle.
Mentoring Heroes: Library Mentorship Programs and Knowledge Transfer
Mentorship provides an opportunity for established librarians to share their expertise and knowledge with new librarians. It provides an opportunity to facilitate discussion between mentors and mentees, allowing both parties to transfer their knowledge. It enables librarians to develop and strengthen our community, allowing us to serve our user communities. This presentation will provide a detailed overview of how tacit knowledge is transferred in libraries through mentorship programs. It will highlight the type of mentorship opportunities in libraries, their influence on tacit knowledge transfer, and the value of mentorship in libraries.

Alt-text unite: Making a difference through inclusive social media strategies
How do libraries in Canada communicate to their communities on social media, and what considerations do they make, in regards to accessibility and inclusivity, when they post content online? This presentation will examine different types of Montreal libraries (public, academic and school) social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube) to demonstrate the current practices that libraries are implementing to make their communications more accessible. We will recommend strategies for more accessible textual and visual communications. We hope to demonstrate the importance of inclusivity and accessibility, and how these small efforts can positively affect the entire community.

Canadian Readiness for BIBFRAME: Potential impacts for our library community
BIBFRAME will become part of the cataloguing landscape in the near future. To help Canadian libraries prepare for the shift to BIBFRAME, the CFLA-FCAB Cataloguing and Metadata Standards Committee (CMSC) has partnered with ASTED and Library and Archives Canada to strike the Canadian BIBFRAME Readiness Task Force. Appointed for an initial term to end June 1, 2020, the Task Force mandate is to prepare documentation to help the CMSC to develop a pan-Canadian BIBFRAME strategy. The poster will provide details about the goals of the initiative, and examine the anticipated benefits of a transition to BIBFRAME for Canadian libraries.

Hack your inventory
In 2018 Concordia University Library inventoried nearly 300,000 volumes using an efficient method created by University of Dayton libraries. Leveraging Google Sheets and Google Apps Scripts, staff working in the stacks scanned barcodes into a spreadsheet which triggered a query to the Sierra ILS and then populated the spreadsheet with catalogue data in real time. The data immediately alerted staff to call number errors, miss-shelved items, incorrect statuses, and barcodes not in the system. Google Sheets were easy for staff to use, automatically saved, and enabled problems identified through the inventory to be tracked and quantified.

An Assessment of Staff Perceptions on the Availability of LGBTQ+ Materials and Resources in Québec Academic Libraries
This poster is part of a larger project that seeks to assess how employees in Québec university libraries perceive their ability to access LGBTQ+ services and resources for themselves and their users. This project will formulate an initial community needs assessment, to eventually shape the development of resources and institutional recommendations. This will enrich the availability of LGBTQ+ information for staff and patrons, and improve customer service and professional development practices in the province. We will present our initial findings, including a literature review to better understand perceptions of how institutional supports can work towards better serving LGBTQ+ populations.
