Abstract

Great changes such as the transition towards digitalization happen step by step, even under time pressure and without sufficient equipment. Unbundling course contents and structures from a greater course frame to create stand-alone content, as well as focusing on the needs of target groups may ease the digital change in library course programs more than theory-based approaches. This article intends to shed light on the concepts for the creation of online library courses and educational material before and during the Corona-pandemic that were put into practice by the Zentrum für Informationskompetenz at the Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Tirol.
