Hello from the new instructional design intern

Hello! My name is Betsy and I’m the new instructional design intern at the City Tech library. I’m currently a student in the Graduate School of Library and Information Sciences at Queens College and previously worked on the Open Educational Resources initiative at the College of Staten Island. I’m interested in multimedia and interaction design and am excited to develop my skills through this internship!
Today (my first day!) I learned about the types of things I’ll be doing this semester. They generally fall into three main categories:
(1) Create additional fun and interactive resources for students.  I will probably start with our library orientation, which is a modular tutorial on where to begin with your research.
(2) Develop relationships with students and faculty and generally spread the word about all the great things library has to offer!
(3) This third one is a more technical goal–enable interoperability between different educational platforms so that our LibGuide content can be incorporated into Blackboard.
As with the previous interns, you can expect weekly updates on my progress. Feel free to reach out to me via twitter and instagram (@citytechlibrary on both). I look forward to the rest of the semester and hope to hear from folks!
