Settled into the new reality of asynchronous teaching during a pandemic, two arts librarians have embraced new initiatives and created new expectations at their home institutions while also looking forward. Leah Sherman’s paper will discuss the evolution of an asynchronous library instruction program for the Fine Arts from a series of PDF handouts to a robust Canvas module at Florida State University. Adele Flannery’s paper will contrast established pedagogical formulas with contemporary video narratives and propose new ways of conceptualizing video tutorials inspired by Youtube when resources are limited. Attendees will see how various technologies can be used for asynchronous instruction and hear how these librarians have marketed and advocated for their initiatives today and in the post-pandemic future.
