[CODE4LIB] Georgia State University Library releases Library Instruction Recorder plugin as Open Source
*Apologies for cross-posting* Georgia State University Library releases Library Instruction Recorder plugin as Open Source As part of its commitment to the free culture movementhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_culture_movement, Georgia State University Library is pleased to announce the initial release of the Library Instruction Recorder (LIR). LIR is a free, open source WordPress plugin that allows librarians and library staff to record and report on library instruction sessions. User education is a core value of Librarianshiphttp://www.ala.org/advocacy/intfreedom/statementspols/corevalues#education, and Georgia State University Library takes that commitment seriously by providing a variety of instruction sessionshttp://library.gsu.edu/home/services-and-support/services/library-instruction/ and self-directed learning toolshttp://research.library.gsu.edu/learnhowto?p=754175 to both studentshttp://library.gsu.edu/home/information-for-you/undergraduate-students/ and facultyhttp://library.gsu.edu/home/information-for-you/faculty/. To continue recording and reporting on library instruction sessions, the library needed a tool that was simple, easy-to-use, effective, and focused solely on library instruction needs - finding none, we decided to create our own! LIR is available for download from the WordPress Plugin Directoryhttp://wordpress.org/plugins/library-instruction-recorder/, and the source code is available on BitBuckethttps://bitbucket.org/gsulibwebmaster/library-instruction-recorder. http://homer.gsu.edu/blogs/library/2014/08/29/georgia-state-university-library-releases-library-instruction-recorder-plugin-as-open-source/ __ Cliff Landis, MSLIS Web Services Librarian Georgia State University Library P: 404.413.2772 | E: clifflan...@gsu.edumailto:clifflan...@gsu.edu | W: clifflandishttp://www.google.com/search?q=clifflandis
