Welcome to Brittany Dudek, CCCOnline’s New Librarian!



We are delighted to welcome Brittany Dudek, our new Instructional Online Librarian for Colorado Community Colleges Online. Previously, Brittany was the Electronic Resources Librarian for Illinois Central College in East Peoria, Illinois. Brittany received her Masters of Library & Information Science from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and her B.A. from Eastern Illinois University, and she was honored as a Library Journal 2014 Mover & Shaker. 

Here’s an introduction from Brittany herself:

I’m very excited to work with you to provide library services to your students. I’ve heard from many that citations and plagiarism is a concern, and am working to create active learning/interactive tutorials which will finish with a short ‘quiz’ on those subjects that can be used in any course at any time.

Aside from the citation and plagiarism tutorials, there are many library services I can offer, and I hope you’ll take advantage of them! I’ve listed a few here, but would love to work with you to develop what your students need!
·      
Research Guides (LibGuides)
o   Subject specific research guides to help students find library and open source resources related to a subject
o   Will also include general citation and research information
·        Tutorials
o   Topics covered can include specific databases or websites, research skills, information literacy skills, or for the particular needs of a course
·        Instruction Sessions
o   Asynchronous or synchronous instructional sessions tailored to your subject or assignment needs
o   These sessions will be recorded upon request, and the video provided to use a reference

Please consider scheduling instruction sessions in your course when it coincides with an assignment. Students benefit the most when library services are provided at their point of need!

I am excited about getting started and truly look forward to working with you!

Brittany Dudek
