LOEX 2026

As academic libraries approach the limits of what can be achieved through one-shots, innovative strategies are needed to deepen and sustain library integration in course curriculum. This presentation highlights a series of librarian-led faculty development initiatives aimed at improving assignment design and strengthening librarian-faculty partnerships. Leveraging the Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT) framework, our initiatives support instructors in creating clear, effective assignments and promote equitable teaching and learning practices. Drawing on feedback from faculty participants, this presentation highlights the benefits of this model, offering practical insights for academic libraries seeking alternatives to traditional instruction.

Participants will:
1. Identify how librarian-led faculty development initiatives can extend instructional impact beyond one-shot sessions and individual consultations
2. Evaluate the effectiveness of collaborative assignment design as a scalable strategy for integrating library resources into course curricula
3. Recognize the role of incentives and faculty interest in fostering deeper engagement with librarians and advancing institutional teaching and learning priorities
