Thursday April 30, 2026 1:30pm - 2:20pm CST
This session is designed for librarians and teacher-librarians who already have some experience using the Sask DLC Resource Bank and want to deepen their practice to support their libraries. Rather than focusing on basic searching, participants will explore strategies for endorsing high-quality resources, sharing favourite educational materials, and creating new resources to support teaching, learning, and inquiry. The session will also highlight ways to leverage groups and collections to amplify the reach and impact of shared content and invite collaboration on collections and Resource Bank hubs.

Attendees will gain practical insights on how to support educators and students by promoting valuable resources, fostering collaborative use of digital materials, and contributing to province-wide initiatives that strengthen library services.

For participants who are new to the Sask DLC Resource Bank, or those who would benefit from a refresher prior to the session, a short pre-session resource is provided HERE. This training will include brief videos and a suggested scope and sequence covering core features such as navigation, searching, collections and hubs. A guided exploration checklist will also be provided. Reviewing these materials in advance will help ensure all participants can fully engage in the session content and discussions.
