Outreach for Library Teaching & Learning (OLibTeL)

The Outreach for Library Teaching & Learning (OLibTeL) group is concerned with the big picture of library teaching and learning activities. To that extent, the group oversees the overall structure and process of these activities and will act as a clearinghouse for University Libraries’ workshops and instructional activities that are delivered to Carnegie Mellon University students, staff, and faculty. In that capacity, OLibTel:


Orientations Team

This group comes together to plan general (not departmental) orientation activities for incoming students and new faculty each fall (and sometimes Spring and Summer). This includes scheduling, building tutorials, discussing giveaways, and any other proposed activities related to orientations.

This group meets every two weeks on Wednesdays and is accepting new members. Learn more in this Google Drive.

Data and Research Consultation Service

An informal service where all students, faculty, and staff across Pittsburgh can drop by and have consultations with library experts in all things digital- and data-related. From just learning how to get working on the command line on your computer; getting an introduction to the wide array of data visualization, GIS, text analysis, and data mining research methods available; or having a brief consultation about a specific research or pedagogical project.
