Description: 

At SAIT, librarians collaborate with Curriculum Development to embed e-resources in courses at the design stage.  For blended learning courses, designers are dependent on e-resources to support course outcomes.  In this partnership, librarians match course outcomes with relevant e-resources, dramatically increasing use and the value of librarians at the institution.

Title: Desk Fu: Who has time to exercise? YOU do (http://proposalspace.com/p/4546/s?key=cFjpH9S7x5Qr2S5S)

Description: 

Studies have shown that as little as 30 minutes a day of regular exercise increases employee attendence, effectiveness, and productivity. But who really has 30 minutes a day to exercise?  Everyone.  This talk will illustrate how small changes can yield big improvements through 15 minute breaks and employee wellness programs.
