Libraries News and Information

Keep Teaching, the website created as Ohio State’s temporary response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the shift to online and hybrid teaching, is being retired this May, but the valuable information the site provided will live on within the university’s Teaching and Learning Resource Center.

The Teaching and Learning Resource Center launched in September 2020 as the new hub for Ohio State instructors to find teaching and learning strategies and examples and teaching-related resources, information and opportunities from across the university. The site includes content from the Center for Life Sciences Education, the Center for the Study and Teaching of Writing, the College of Education and Human Ecology, the Michael V. Drake Institute for Teaching and Learning, the Office of Distance Education and eLearning, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion and University Libraries.

Beginning mid-May, all links to the Keep Teaching site will be redirected to the Teaching and Learning Resource Center. This change is scheduled to take place between spring and summer semesters to minimize any disruptions. No content from the Keep Teaching site will be lost during this transition; it is simply being reorganized within the Teaching and Learning Resource Center. All information, including teaching strategies by instructional mode, tool-specific information and learning opportunities will be available at teaching.resources.osu.edu. If you haven’t explored the Teaching and Learning Resource Center, be sure to check it out! You can browse resources by tool or by teaching topic, and you will always find a running list of upcoming learning opportunities from around the university.

Tucker is new in IT and keeps getting asked if there are webcams with extra long cords.

Tucker should go to Purchasing Goods & Services – How to Create & Approve a Requisition to see how to do this. A good vendor might be CDW-G and can be found under “Round Trip” after choosing Buckeye Buy.

Also, remember purchases still need AD approval during our current restrictions.

Mara Jade is new to University Libraries. How does she get oriented to Workday?

Mara Jade should first start with Workday Basics. There are also many other job aids and videos for Workday in the Administrative Resources Center – they can search or go to the Workday section and then browse by role.

Want to feature your pet in Workday with Pets? Send a photo to dotson.77@osu.edu.  You can also ask questions about Workday or suggest features to showcase.

The Enterprise Project is a business transformation that will improve the Ohio State experience and advance operational excellence through Workday and other modern, effective services and technology. It includes optimizing finance, HR, payroll, student services and IT business processes; replacing core administrative systems (currently PeopleSoft) with Workday; and improving decision-making through a single source of trusted administrative data.

Workday reports provide information in real-time, resulting in more reliable data with many benefits. The reports are:

• Actionable – Initiate, update and approve transactions from interactive reports.
• Flexible – Resort, reorder output or view data as a chart.
• Always available – Workday dashboards group related reports together and are populated with up-to-the-minute data every time you open a dashboard.
• Sharable – Share data produced from Workday reports with other university employees in a protected manner; university data is more secure since it doesn’t leave Workday.
• Immediately meaningful – Use reports and integrated analytic tools to directly answer operational and strategic questions.
