  • NOWAL NEWSLETTER Winter 2020
    NOWAL NEWSLETTER Winter 2020 NOWAL Newsletter Winter 2020 EHU Library & Learning Services nominations Edge Hill University Library & Learning Services has been shortlisted for two Times Higher Awards 2020: • Outstanding Library Team for its work around developing a comprehensive staff development programme for academic staff. The offer includes sessions around developing digital skills and using the core tools for teaching and learning. • Outstanding Support for Students with the submission looking at the role of Catalyst and front-line support which is provided by the Help Desk team. The Help Desk is at the heart of Catalyst and is managed by Library and Learning Services. Staff development was at the core of the Library’s support to academics during lockdown, providing bespoke sessions to teams, scheduled events delivered via MS teams and also a suite of online packages. In total, for the 5 months of working from home, from March to August, there were over 800 attendees. Images courtesy of THE and Edge Hill University library In the same period, the Academic Engagement team provided a fortnightly bulletin to keep academic staff up to date, including the range of resources available; virtual support for staff and students; staff development to develop digital skills; and updates around teaching and learning tools. Feedback from colleagues suggested this was very much appreciated and the bulletin became ‘the go to place’ for current information. Over the summer the Student Engagement team worked closely with the University’s Student Recruitment team on a ‘Getting Started’ project for new students. The ‘Getting Started with UniSkills’ project offered a variety of live webinars and a selection of synchronous and asynchronous learning interventions introducing key University skills including academic resilience, research skills, academic writing and referencing.
