As we put the finishing touches on the Ready for Success Summit for March 15th, we’re looking back over the work we did during the full grant period. Working with the teachers and librarians at Brentwood High School has been a great experience. Early on, however, we did engage with our Stony Brook University faculty as we worked to understand the questions we were addressing.
And that meant examining our own work as academic librarians and the faculty with whom we collaborate. They were happy to talk with us about how they integrate research and library instruction into their classes and the challenges they see their students facing when doing research. What we appreciated even more was that they agreed to talk about it on video!
We compiled a series of interviews with various faculty members that we taped to show during our summer 2022 retreat. Our high school partners thus got to hear from their college counterparts about the value of research skills in the success of students beyond high school.
This is a shortened version of that video compilation and it serves as a good segue into our Summit where we will be expanding the conversation – and maybe making some more videos! Make sure you subscribe to this blog for updates.
