Call for Expressions of Interest – CARL Teaching & Learning Community of Practice
October 2, 2026 – The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) Teaching & Learning Community of Practice Steering Committee invites expressions of interest to join the newly created Teaching & Learning Community of Practice (CoP).
The purpose of this CoP is to engage library staff belonging to CARL and non-CARL institutions who have a strong interest in teaching and learning in an academic library setting. The CoP strives to foster a sense of community and provide opportunities for networking among its members.
The activities of the CoP may include, but are not limited to:
- Presentations and/or facilitated discussion on a set topic
- Invited speakers
- Moderated panel
- Journal article/book discussion
- Joint meeting with another CARL CoP
The time commitment for participants is expected to be two to three hours per month.
The Teaching & Learning Steering Committee will support the planning of the activities of the CoP. Please see the steering committee Terms of Reference.
CARL is committed to providing a welcoming, safe, and harassment-free environment and CoP members will be subject to the CARL Code of Conduct.
Should you wish to join this community of practice, please fill out the registration form by October 31st. You will be added to the Teaching & Learning CoP listserv, where updates about CoP activities will be circulated.
