The Learning & Engagement department supports the development of students in the Schools of Arts & Sciences and Engineering at Tufts in their capacity as critical thinkers about information. In service of the library's mission, we collaborate with library staff members, departments, and the Tufts community to support the scholarly life of Tufts AS&E students and faculty through instruction, research consultations, and collection development as well as to improve the user experience across services, collections, spaces, and our web presence.
Our work is multifaceted and includes providing leadership and best practices in areas such as: critical thinking about information; the website and other online platforms; outreach and orientation initiatives; support for transfer, first-generation, and traditionally underrepresented students; assessment and user research methods; online learning; the design and delivery of the first-year library instruction program; and collection development.
