Actualizing the digital library with interactive student learning and engagement projects

Abstract
University of Calgary Libraries has had success developing interactive library tools, including virtual 360 tours, virtual orientations, structured tours for English language learners, music collection showcases, and more. Many of these have been built using the ThingLink platform which the presenters have been using over the past 2 years to 'actualize' the digital in the Taylor Family Digital Library, the University's main library location. This eLearning showcase will highlight how the presenters have used this affordable tool, adapted it for a variety of library use cases, and how the digital creations have engaged with students, staff and faculty.
