Abstract

Academic libraries are finding that involving student employees in collaborative projects fosters student development while increasing library capability and impact. This article validates and builds on Denda and Hunter’s team-based engagement framework. The authors expound on that model with principles of experiential learning that apply to a broad scope of student library work. They demonstrate this approach through creative project examples, including the exhibit “Connection.” Engaging student library employees through workplace experiential learning connects them to people and purpose, fostering skill development and a service mindset for their library roles and future careers.

摘要

高校图书馆发现，让学生员工参与合作项目可以促进学生发展，同时提高图书馆的能力和影响力。本文验证并建立在Denda和Hunter基于团队的参与框架上。作者利用体验式学习原理对该模型进行了阐述，该原理适用于广泛的学生图书馆工作。他们通过创造性的项目示例（包括展览“ Connection”）演示了这种方法。通过工作场所的体验式学习来吸引学生图书馆的员工，使他们与人和目标联系起来，促进技能发展以及他们图书馆角色和未来职业的服务心态。
