Title: Libraries and Undergraduate Research: Exploring Digital Credentialing in Co-curricular Programming
Abstract: Universities across the country are emphasizing transformative learning experiences for students. Conversations are needed to describe how libraries can connect to university initiatives related to experiential learning like undergraduate research. University Libraries at Virginia Tech, an R1 land-grant institution, has developed robust, pedagogically-backed introductory undergraduate research training programs in collaboration with the Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR). This presentation will discuss the pedagogical underpinnings of our programs, technical aspects of integrating badging into the programs, and program models and aspirations that helped us answer the question, "What is the carrot" for students completing Library and other types of co-curricular activities. From this session, participants will have a roadmap to planning and piloting badging initiatives that support current or potential library and university programming.
