Leah Sherman
About
In response to the demand for online instruction in 2020-21, Leah Sherman created an asynchronous instruction program for the College of Fine Arts. Built in Canvas, the course has been downloaded 91 times since August 2021. The online course has been well received by faculty and students, and it has opened up more time to collaborate with faculty and to lecture on more advanced or boutique topics. This course provides a model for subject librarians as we discuss the future of library instruction at FSU.
Outcomes
An asynchronous instruction program, built in Canvas, for the College of Fine Arts.
Success
The course has been downloaded 91 times since August 2021, which means that it has been imported into a minimum of 91 different course sites (this does not take into account the number of times instructors simply copied the course from one semester to another).

Liz Dunne
About
Provided leadership in coordinating campus-wide partners who also provide tutoring services (Academic Center for Excellence, Center for Academic Retention and Engagement, and the Reading Writing Center) in the creation of tutoring.fsu.edu to centralize information on all tutoring resources at FSU and enabling students to identify and access the academic support they need. Tutoring launched online tutoring through synchronous hours on Zoom and asynchronous modules to continue tutoring support during the shift to remote learning during COVID as well as students who are unable to attend in-person tutoring sessions.
Outcomes
The outcome of this is increased promotion, access, and coordination of our tutoring services.
Success
Success has been measured through our online tutoring statistics, feedback from our tutors, as well as continued partnership across campus.

Lisa Play (lead), Social Sciences, Arts & Humanities (SSAH) and STEM Subject Librarians
About
While the Libraries have collaborated with the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) for many years, the redesigned subject-specific colloquium model provided an opportunity to rethink our library instruction to better fit the needs of the UROP students and align with the goals of the program. This led to the development of a new model of collaboration which included the creation of 19 subject-specific Canvas modules as well as the design of a coordinating in-person lesson to be implemented in partnership with the subject librarians for each colloquium.
Outcomes
The outcome of this program is a more valuable and relevant information literacy component to the UROP colloquiums, supporting students in their discipline-specific research endeavors.
Success
Success has been measured through assessment gathered through students, UROP leaders, as well as our subject librarians.
